[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40588] set(gca, 'xaxislocation', 'zero') has no effect

[Muhali]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #40588 (project octave):

>> The only use for 'xaxislocation', 'zero' is in polar plots and a patch has
been submitted for creating a polar grid. Closing report.

Googling images for 'multidimensional scaling' one finds numerous cases of
non-polar plots with a central x-axis. That is just one of many examples,
basically all cases with a symmetry of x or y about 0. They all speak in favor
of having set(gca, 'xaxislocation', 'zero').

Here is another prominent place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

ML doesn't have that feature but it is often requested (see e.g.
PlotAxisAtOrigin, oaxes, axescenter). R has it, GeoGebra has it.
