[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36156] text (x, y, "Default") -> text object with empty string

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #36156 (project octave):

Rik,

I ran the script,


h = text (0.5, 0.5, 'default');  % is string correctly rendered?
print -disc -append rik.ps
%%
set (h, 'string', 'default');    % does this turn string into empty string?
print -dpsc -append rik.ps
%%
set (h, 'string', '\default');   % does this work like the documentation
print -dpsc -append rik.ps
%% says?
                                 % is the '\' character stripped?
close all
h = text (0.5, 0.5, '\default'); % is stripping implemented here as well?
print -dpsc -append rik.ps


I've attached plots.  Only the last includes the backslash, but is also gives
the warning below.
