I added a Number property to Octave in this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ac6ba9f2fa41).

It may not be perfect, but it does respect "IntegerHandle" and return [] in that case, or the figure number in the ordinary case.

Marking as fixed and closing report.

Thanks for the feedback.

One thing to add (related to bug #53342) is that the value of this property can change according to another property "IntegerHandle". See Matlab code below:


>> h = figure;
>> get (h, 'Number')
ans =
     1
>> set (h, 'IntegerHandle', 'off');
>> get (h, 'Number')
ans =
     []
>> figure;
>> set (h, 'IntegerHandle', 'on');
>> get (h, 'Number')
ans =
     2

Confirmed.  You can note that there is this bit of code in graphics.in.h


      // FIXME: Need RO property which returns current figure number.
      // double_property number r ,


so this is a known issue.

It shouldn't be that hard to implement.  Currently, the value of the handle is equal to this "Number" property.  It should be easy to copy the value of the handle over to this read-only property just once when the figure is constructed.

Matlab's figures have a read-only "Number" property containing the figure number:
