[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38914] Gnuplot axis reverse is not working

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #38914 (project octave):

Yes, it is particular to version 4.7 which has or hasn't come out yet.  (I'm
using the gnuplot development version on my system.)  The behavior of
"reverse" is going to change because it had a property of stickiness meaning
once it was set, it wasn't possible to unset it.  I eventually recalled having
wondered about this on the gnuplot discussion list:

http://marc.info/?l=gnuplot-info-beta&m=134712826931471&w=2
http://marc.info/?t=124817327100003&r=1&w=2

I would have pursued this particular bug report (bug #38914) if I had felt
comfortable with the change gnuplot developers are making, but the proposed
change just didn't seem satisfactory so I'm just sort of taking a wait-and-see
approach whether this is the final change when 4.7 comes out.  4.7 hasn't been
released yet.

The attached patch does check for the version:

+    use_reverse_keyword = compare_versions (__gnuplot_version__ (), "4.7",
"<");

so it is ready to go if gnuplot 4.7 is released and has the currently proposed
change to "{no}reverse".
