Coding Style

[Bill Denney]

So, I generally don't code things the same way that is generally used in 
the internals of Octave.  One thing I was just looking at was the current 
plotting routines (with gnuplot), and I noticed that some parts 
(specifically in bar.m) had

if (something)
  ...
else
  error (message)
endif

My general preference is to have code indented less, and I think that 
less indentation generally makes code more readable.  I would code it as

if (~ something)
  error (message)
endif
...

So I have two questions:  is there a document that describes current 
coding preferences in octave?  Is the previous coding method preferred for 
some reason or was it just how the code came out?
