[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59589] default color in bar (and hist) plots is different from Matlab

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #59589 (project octave):

Okay, thanks for testing with Matlab.  What Matlab is doing is a combination
of what we had before and what we have now.  For an ordinary bar chart the
colors come from the "ColorOrder" property.  For a histogram, the colors come
from the "Colormap" property of the axes or figure.  On Matlab, try the hist
plot and then try


colormap ('autumn')


This should turn the histogram bright red.

I can implement this for compatibility, but you probably won't like the colors
chosen.  The first color is always the first color in the colormap which for
Octave's default colormap of "viridis" is a dark purple.
