[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59534] Long form color like "black" not accepted in LineSpec for functions like plot

[Rik]

Update of bug #59534 (project octave):

                 Summary: color format arguments like "black" do not work in
plots => Long form color like "black" not accepted in LineSpec for functions
like plot

Follow-up Comment #2:

It seems like kind of a nice feature.  Just to note, Matlab has not behaved
this way in the past and they don't document that the feature exists.  See
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/plot.html.

There are two parts to supporting this in Octave

1) Having "color" properties support long-form arguments
2) Having LineSpec parsed correctly.

Part 1 already exists in Octave.  For example, this code works:


h = plot (1:10, 'o-k')
set (h, 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'green')


The second part should be possible because there is a single routine for
decoding LineSpec.
