I checked in a better and more complete fix here (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d7e2fd922288).  The problem with only adding "dim_vector (0,0)" is that this disabled any 2-D checking.  It was then possible to set cdata to ones (1,2) which was meant to be excluded since only RGB data can be used for the "cdata" property of a uicontrol object.

I think this is fixed now, although we can re-open it if you encounter further errors.

I was also about to suggest adding a dim_vector (0, 0) constraint for cdata.  That seems to be what other array properties have.  Is some other trouble caused by doing that?

Thanks for looking into this, Rik.
Your change below fixes the problem for me:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/63b3d5e4e5c3
but I guess you find the checks too lenient now?

This is way trickier than it first appeared.  I have some idea of how to fix it, but it means larger changes for how constraints are processed.

It seems that the validation of an uicontrol cdata property is a bit too tight as it doesn't allow an empty array []:


>> figure, h = uicontrol ();
>> get (h, "cdata")
ans = [](0x0)
>> set (h, "cdata", [])
error: invalid value for array property "cdata"
>> set (h, "cdata", zeros(0,0,0))
>>


i.e. it does not allow its own default value.

I assume the fix is about changing this line:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/69a160d7ab68/libinterp/corefcn/graphics.in.h#l5476
but am not sure exactly how.
