I'm attaching a test script that can eventually be used to verify this bug report.  Calling newplot with an input axes handle should not change gca().


close all;

fig1 = figure;
hax1 = axes;
printf ("hax1 = %f\n", double (hax1));
fig2 = figure;
hax2 = axes;
printf ("hax2 = %f\n", double (hax2));
printf ("gca before newplot = %f\n", double (gca));
h = newplot (hax1);
printf ("gca after newplot = %f\n", double (gca));
printf ("handle returned from newplot (should be hax1) = %f\n", double (h));

Re-opening and re-titling bug report.

I reverted the changeset on the stable branche because it was causing other problems.  A comprehensive solution needs to be developed for this bug and for bug #62373.

@Pantxo: Thanks. That fixes the original issue for me. And it matches what Matlab is doing if newplot is called with an axes handle.

I pushed your patch to stable here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fdd58773ac02

Marking as ready for test.

I see no reason for newplot to affect the figure currentaxes property, so the simple attached change should do the trick.

Confirmed also on Windows and with 7.0.90. (Both in Matlab and Octave. They behave differently.)

We are calling `newplot` in `plot`. And that function is setting the "currentaxes" property of the parent figure. That's probably why `gca` has changed after the `plot` command.

consider the following code:


ax = subplot(1,2,1) ;
plot(rand(5,1), rand(5,1))
subplot(1,2,2) ;
get(gca, 'position')
plot(ax, rand(5,1), rand(5,1))
get(gca, 'position')


It should show two identical position values because the current axis has not changed. It does so in Matlab but not in Octave.
