## Generate the graphics.h file from graphics.h.in and write the

##
## If the variable emit_graphics_props is set on the command line,
## generate the graphics-props.cc file from graphics.h.in and write

##
## Lines between the BEGIN_PROPERTIES and END_PROPERTIES markers have
## one of the following formats:
##
##   TYPE NAME
##   TYPE NAME QUALIFIERS
##   mutable TYPE NAME
##   mutable TYPE NAME QUALIFIERS
##
## For each property, we generate a declaration for the property.
##
## If QUALIFIERS is omitted, we generate the following functions directly
## in the class declaration:
##
##   TYPE
##   get_NAME (void) const
##   {
##     return NAME;
##   }
##
##   void
##   set_NAME (const TYPE& val)
##   {
##     if (! error_state)
##       NAME = val;
##   }
##
##   void
##   set_NAME (const octave_value& val)
##   {
##     set_NAME (TYPE (val));
##   }
##
## If present, the QUALIFIERS string may include any of the characters
## g, G, m, s, S, o, O, h, which have the following meanings:
##
##   g:  There is a custom inline definition for the get function,
##       so we don't emit one.
##
##   G:  There is a custom extern definition for the get function,
##       so we emit only the declaration.
##
##   s:  There is a custom inline definition for the type-specific set
##       function, so we don't emit one.
##
##   S:  There is a custom extern definition for the type-specific set
##       function, so we emit only the declaration.

################################################################################
##   'o','O','a' are currently not processed.  They are commented out in code.
################################################################################
##
##   o:  There is a custom inline definition for the octave_value version
##       of the set function, so we don't emit one.
##
##   O:  There is a custom extern definition for the octave_value version
##       of the set function, so we emit only the declaration.
##
##   a:  The octave_value version of the set function will use assignment:
##
##         void
##         set_NAME (const octave_value& val)
##         {
##           TYPE tmp (NAME);
##           tmp = val;
##           set_NAME (tmp);
##         }
##
##       This is useful for things like the radio_value classes which
##       use an overloaded assignment operator of the form
##
##         radio_property& operator = (const octave_value& val);
##
##       that preserves the list of possible values, which is different
##       from what would happen if we simply used the
##
##         TYPE (const octave_value&)
##
##       constructor, which creates a new radio_property and so cannot
##       preserve the old list of possible values.
################################################################################
##
##   l:  Add the line
##
##         update_axis_limits ("NAME");
##
##       to the type-specific set function.
##
##   m:  Add the line
##
##         set_NAMEmode ("manual");
##
##       to the type-specific set function.
##
##   h:  Make the property hidden
##
##   r:  Make the property read-only. A read-only property is not
##       settable from the global set (caseless_str, octave_value)
##       method, but still has set_X accessor.
##
##   u:  The property has an inline updater method. This effectively
##       add the line
##
##         update_NAME ();
##
##       to the type-specific set function. This line is added before
##       any other update call (like those added by the 'l' or 'm'
##       modifiers.
##
##   U:  Like 'u' modifier except that the updater is not inline.
##       A declaration for the updater function will be emitted.
##
##   f:  The property does not have any factory default value.
##
## The 'o' and 'O' qualifiers are only useful when the the property type
## is something other than octave_value.
