Hi,
while trying to get colorbar to work, I realized I'm not sure what
the
graphics stacking order (that is what object should be in front)
should be.
consider the following code:
clf ();
ax1 = gca ();
sombrero (); # just so that we have something drawn
ax2 = axes ("position", [0.3, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2]);
ch=get (gcf (), "children")
with current tip I see ax1 drawn on top of ax2, (both in gnuplot and
fltk) and ch = [ax2;ax1]
I couldn't find a reference for what matlab would do. I'm pretty
sure
that at least ax2 should be drawn on top of a1, but I'm not sure
about
the order of ch. Can anyone try on matlab and report?

Octave orders the objects in the same way as Matlab.
Here's a simple illustration using Matlab.
x = 0:1;
plot (x,x, x,x, x,x, x,x, x,x, x,x, x,x)
ch = get (gca, 'children');
cell2mat (get (ch, 'color'))
ans =
0.25 0.25 0.25
0.75 0.75 0
0.75 0 0.75
0 0.75 0.75
1 0 0
0 0.5 0
0 0 1
get (gca, 'colororder')
ans =
0 0 1
0 0.5 0
1 0 0
0 0.75 0.75
0.75 0 0.75
0.75 0.75 0
0.25 0.25 0.25
I'm sorry for being so dense, but it's too late at night to try to
decipher your example.
Can you please elaborate?
what is the order of the children (i,e, when I add a new child, does
it go before or after the current children in the children vector)?
does the first child get to be on top when drawing?
