Tue 22 Sep 2020 09:25:42 PM UTC, original submission:

Matlab allows mixed arguments to graphics functions such as

line ([0, 1], [0, 1], 'LineStyle', ':', struct ('Linewidth', 3), 'Color', 'k')

Octave throws an error on the same code

octave:1> line ([0, 1], [0, 1], 'LineStyle', ':', struct ('Linewidth', 3), 'Color', 'k')
error: line: invalid number of PROPERTY / VALUE pairs
error: called from
__line__ at line 55 column 5
line at line 84 column 10

I suspect that it is not just line.m, but that most of the graphics functions have a problem with this syntax.

I've marked the severity as minor since there are easy workarounds and there haven't been users crying out for this feature.
