[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34906] Compatibility difference with ticklabels, linestyleorder

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #34906 (project octave):

The behavior of xticklabels is getting much better, but there is still a
problem with alignment of the labels.

Sample code:


plot (1:4);
set (gca, 'xticklabel', '1|1.500|2|2.500|3|3.500|4')


If you look at the plot you will notice that the labels for 1,2,3,4 are offset
to the left from their tickmark.  The problem is that we are splitting and
converting the string to a character matrix where the fill character is a
space.  Thus, the label '1' is really '1    ' to match the width of '1.500'.

When you pass a cell array of values this isn't a problem.

It seems like a possible solution would be to change to a null-delimited
character array such that the first label was '1\0\0\0\0'.  Then in the font
renderer code we could put in something to look only for a C string so that
this would become '1' rather than a 5 character sequence.  Just an idea.
