Plot property: markerface vs. markerfacecolor

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I don't understand how the fill color of a marker in a plot is handled
in Octave 2.9.15 with gnuplot. Consider the following example:

------------------------------------
h = plot(rand(1,5),'o');
get(h)

ans =
{
... (lots of stuff here)
  marker = o
  markeredgecolor = auto
  markerface = none
  markersize =  1
... (more stuff)
}
------------------------------------

Then:
------------------------------------
get(h,'markerface')
warning: get: invalid property `markerface'
------------------------------------

This warning message is obviously wrong, as the previous get(...)
command returned markerface = none. Then, from what I remember using
Matlab, I tried the following:

------------------------------------
get(h,'markerfacecolor')
ans = none
------------------------------------

This is what I would get from Matlab (I believe), but it is somehow
unexpected given that get(h) returns no markerfacecolor property.

Is this a bug in Octave 2.9.15 or is just me?
