scatter marker style

[samuel WEBER]

Dears,

Here is a little "bug" I think.
In the doc of the scatter function, it is said:

The marker to use can be changed with the STYLE argument, that is a
     string defining a marker in the same manner as the 'plot' command.

But the command

scatter(rand(1,10), rand(1,10), '.r')

gives the following error

error: invalid color specification: .r

error: called from

    __scatter__ at line 178 column 11

    scatter at line 86 column 10

error: invalid value for color property "markeredgecolor" (value = .r)

error: called from

    __scatter__ at line 178 column 11

    scatter at line 86 column 10

The correct syntax for scatter is for me :

scatter(rand(1,10), rand(1,10), 'r', '.')

but this is not "in the same manner as the 'plot' command'.

I have octave 4.0.0 in Linux.

Bests,
Samuël
