Pushed an update to stable at
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/29f23c6668b2

that adds property definitions for all of the uixx objects.  This should address all of the Graphics Property pages.  At least, all of the properties currently attached to any graphics objects have definitions or are marked unused/unimplemented.  Did my best to verify property behavior before marking as unimplemented, etc. Going to mark this as fixed and close the report, but if i missed something or someone sees a glaring error, please let me know.

Thanks! Builds clean for me too now.

I usually just delete doc/ (in the build directory) and then type make.

And now:

Not sure if this is the change that broke it:

'make check' runs the m-file "test/fntests.m".  I verified that it is only looking for BIST tests in liboctave/, libinterp/, and scripts/.  Go ahead and remove the BIST tests in genpropdoc.m when you push any further changes.

I checked in some minor improvements to your patch.  See https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/13404200b381.

This is looking good.  Whatever we get into release 9.1 is bonus at this point.

Is this bug ready to close now?

(edit) could someone more familiar with the legend object itself check that list and verify if it shouldn't have any of the 'base' properties, etc.

As initially noted over in bug #64985 a number of graphics object property changes have occurred but haven't been captured in the documentation (within genpropdoc.m). Creating this report as a placeholder for tracking updates to correct that. Once i have a build number and verify the docs still build without error, the first patch here will address base, root, figure, and axes properties.
