Octave-2.9.12 (CVS) plot text properties

[A. Scottedward Hodel]

I've recently had a problem with Octave's text() command.  The "rotation" property seems to have changed.  See below:

I don't find in the current documentation a list of available properties.  The closest I can find is at

http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?ObjectGraphics

but the properties listed there under "Text" do not appear to work.  Any advice on this subject would be much appreciated.

octave:1> __gnuplot_set__ terminal x11

octave:2> text(0.1, 0.1, 'Hi')

octave:3> text(0.1, 0.1, 'Hi','Rotation',90)

warning: set: invalid property `Rotation'

octave:4> which text

text is the user-defined function from the file

/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.12+/m/plot/text.m

octave:5> version

ans = 2.9.12+

octave:6> pkg list
