@Markus: Sorry, I don't seem to be able to push from the machine I have access to. I updated my public ssh key on savannah to no avail. I'll try with my other machine later.

@Pantxo: Thanks for the quick fix. That change looks good to me. Please, push it to the stable branch if you come around to it.

agree, that looks like an inadvertant change.  would also recommend this getting pushed to stable before the 7.2 release.

The attached cset, meant for stable, fixes the issue for me.

The regression is due to this cset:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fa65184b7c76

where "rgb" in a search pattern was mistakenly replaced by the name of a class member variable "m_rgb". The workaround, until this is fixed, is to replace "rgb" by "m_rgb", e.g.


text (0.5, 0.5, '\color[m_rgb]{0,0.5,0.5} text');


I think this could be fixed on stable so I changed the release to 7.1.

oops, sorry for missing the verbatim tag. marking as a regression since it worked in v6.4.0

also confirmed the same error occurs on the v8 default branch in linux, so updating categories.

Confirmed in 7.1.0 on windows.  the following works for me in Octave 6.4.0 on Windows:


plot([1:10],[1:10])
text (5, 5, '\color[rgb]{1 0 0}{Hello world}')
+verbatim+

line plot looks normal, and a red Hello world appears at the center.

in 7.1.0 on Windows, the terminal gives the 'Tex parse error: syntax error'

and the plot shows the text '\color[rgb]{1 0 0}{Hello world}' on the plot in black.

According to Octave documentation (https://docs.octave.org/v7.1.0/tex-interpreter.html) and this (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47907#comment4) comment to bug 47907, Octave follows MATLAB TeX syntax.  See, https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/greek-letters-and-special-characters-in-graph-text.html

MATLAB syntax for specifying text color in RGB is not working.

This should work:


>> text (100, 100, '\color[rgb]{0,0.5,0.5} text');
>> TeX parse error: syntax error


But as the error shows, doesn't.
