Fixed in this changeset (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/4d7665fc8f6c).  I used a slightly different approach which was already standard in the other plotting routines in scripts/plot/draw.  This will be a part of the 5.2.0 bug fix release in a few months time.  Since it is just an m-file change you can also grab the updated copy of line.m from the Mercurial repo and copy it in to your installation to see the fix.

Yeah, Glenn originally reported it as 5.1.0, I moved it to dev, but feel free to keep it 5.1.0 and fix on stable if you think it's important.

Just tested and answered my own question: this does affect 5.1.0 so the fix should go on the stable branch.

This is probably my doing.  I re-worked line and _line_ quite a bit.  Assigning the bug to myself.

This is marked against the development version of Octave.  Is it also present on the new 5.1.0 stable release?

Confirmed on Debian GNU/Linux in the development version as well. Requires that the line is being drawn onto an axes object that is not in the active figure.

Also affects gnuplot (provided example needs to be edited to remove calls to 'uicontrol')

First, thanks to all the Octave contributors that make Octave so great.

When using line(...) to plot into an existing axes handle, an undesirable axes is created in the current figure when no axis exists.  Run attached unwanted_axis.m for demonstration.

This occurs for Open_GL graphics toolkit as well as ftlk toolkit.

This error occurs when _next_line_color_.m and _next_line_style_.m eventually get called.  In these m-files gca() is called, which creates an axis when one doesn't exist in the current figure (even though the explicit handle to the desired axis is passed to line). To remedy, _line_.m can be modified to pass the desired axes handle to _next_line_style_.m and _next_line_color_.m.  Both of these functions need to be modified to allow passing in the desired axis handle as well.

Diffs for a very crude hack to address this are attached.
