Follow-up Comment #1:

You're referring to the "def. 1-by-6 double" label in the manual, right?

This came about as a result of bug #42536 that you helped work on to ensure
that the graphics properties show the correct default values. The "1-by-6
double" is supposed to be the way it's showing you the default value, but not
that it always has to be a 1-by-6 vector.

The property can be completely arbitrary, depending on whether the axes is
labeled manually or automatically:


octave:16> plot (randn (100, 1));
octave:17> get (gca, "ytick")
ans =

  -3  -2  -1   0   1   2   3

octave:18> set (gca, "ytick", 0)
octave:19> get (gca, "ytick")
ans = 0



Do you want to update how this is described in the manual?
