[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57388] [wish] appearance of legend keys for stem, errorbar, contour

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #57388 (project octave):

I think the reason ellipses are used in Matlab is that rendering a 3-D surface
on to a 2-D surface is similar to a topographic map used in hiking.  In
nature, the contours are curves rather than rectilinear lines, and I think
they were trying for that similarity.  I suppose the topographic map of the
Great Pyramid at Giza would be squares inside squares, but that is pretty
rare.

But I agree that ellipses are a small thing which doesn't require fixing.  The
main thing to fix, which you did, was the near overlap of the contours in the
legend key.
