| Package: octave3.0
| Version: 1:3.0.1-4

| This is a proposed rewrite for the docs contained in the Axes Properties

| 1) all of the properties should be included in the index.

Which index?  It doesn't seem appropriate to add them to any of the
existing indices (concepts, variables, functions, operators).

It seems strange to me to create a new index for graphics properties
alone since they are already presented in itemized lists in the
manual.  What does an index entry add?

I did add index entries for some more graphics concepts:

@cindex root figure graphics object
@cindex graphics object, root figure
@cindex figure graphics object
@cindex graphics object, figure
@cindex axes graphics object
@cindex graphics object, axes
@cindex line graphics object
@cindex graphics object, line
@cindex text graphics object
@cindex graphics object, text
@cindex image graphics object
@cindex graphics object, image
@cindex patch graphics object
@cindex graphics object, patch
@cindex surface graphics object
@cindex graphics object, surface 
@cindex graphics object properties
@cindex figure properties
@cindex axes properties
@cindex line properties
@cindex text properties
@cindex image properties

@cindex default graphics properties
@cindex graphics properties, default

| 2) "position" should read:
|      A vector specifying the position of the plot, excluding titles,
|      axes and legend.  The four elements of the vector are the
|      coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the
|      plot, in units normalized to the window width and height.  For
|      example, `[0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5]' sets the lower left corner of the
|      axes at (0.2, 0.3) and the width and height to be 0.4 and 0.5
|      respectively.  See *outerposition*

I made these changes.

Thanks,
