[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40064] Legend "interpreter" property not working correctly

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #40064 (project octave):

I've found the problem.  At least for me, the default axes interpreter
property is "none".  The legend object is implemented as an axes with a text
and a line child for each entry.  In this case the text object does not
inherit the interpreter property from the axis object and the default
interpreter for text objects is "tex".

What does the following return for you?


clf;
hax = axes ();
get (hax, 'interpreter')


It really should return 'none'.

And then, how about the following?


clf;
plot (1:10);
hl = legend ('abc');
get (hl, 'interpreter')


It should also return 'none' since the legend is just an axes object.  You
might also try


get (0, 'defaultaxesinterpreter')


to see that there is nothing accidentally set.

Since all the other objects which use the interpreter property are defaulting
to 'tex', I'm tempted to change the default for axes properties in
graphics.in.h.  I just tested that and demo #12 now works for me.
