[Rik]

Update of bug #34906 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #15:

I checked in a changeset that fixes repetition and string trimming
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/359ac80ecb30).  The only thing I
trim is spaces.  Matlab may be trimming other whitespace as well such as tab
(\t) or newline (\n) or return (\r).  I doubt they trim the newline because
then it would be difficult to have multi-line labels.  Someone can check what
characters Matlab is trimming or we can just go with what we have here.

Ben, is the general behavior that when given a cell array vector that the
return is always a column vector?  Is this true for numeric cell arrays as
well as string cell arrays?  If so then that reshaping should be done more
generally than just in the convert_ticklabel_string routine.

Similarly, do all arguments that accept strings split on the delimiter '|'? 
What about something like title()?  Can you get a multi-line title with 


title ('line1|line2');


I'm wondering if we only need to write one more routine to deal with
linestyleorder or whether bigger changes have to be made.
