In all .txi and .texi files except gpl.txi and gpl.texi in the doc/liboctave and doc/interpreter directories, change the copyright to "Octave Project Developers", the same as used for other source files. Update copyright notices for 2022 (not done since 2019). For gpl.txi and gpl.texi, change the copyright notice to be "Free Software Foundation, Inc." and leave the date at 2007 only because this file only contains the text of the GPL, not anything created by the Octave Project Developers.

## This function is called at the beginning of all high-level plotting
## functions.  It is not normally required in user programs.  @code{newplot}
## queries the @qcode{"NextPlot"} field of the current figure and axes to
## determine what to do.
##
## @multitable @columnfractions .25 .75
## @headitem Figure NextPlot @tab Action
## @item @qcode{"new"} @tab Create a new figure and make it the current figure.
##
## @item @qcode{"add"} (default) @tab Add new graphic objects to the current
## figure.
##
## @item @qcode{"replacechildren"} @tab Delete child objects whose
## HandleVisibility is set to @qcode{"on"}.  Set NextPlot property to
## @qcode{"add"}.  This typically clears a figure, but leaves in place hidden
## objects such as menubars.  This is equivalent to @code{clf}.
##
## @item @qcode{"replace"} @tab Delete all child objects of the figure and
## reset all figure properties to their defaults.  However, the following
## four properties are not reset: Position, Units, PaperPosition, PaperUnits.
## This is equivalent to @code{clf reset}.
## @end multitable
##
## @multitable @columnfractions .25 .75
## @headitem Axes NextPlot @tab Action
## @item @qcode{"add"} @tab Add new graphic objects to the current axes.  This
## is equivalent to @code{hold on}.
##
## @item @qcode{"replacechildren"} @tab Delete child objects whose
## HandleVisibility is set to @qcode{"on"}, but leave axes properties
## unmodified.  This typically clears a plot, but preserves special settings
## such as log scaling for axes.  This is equivalent to @code{cla}.
##
## @item @qcode{"replace"} (default) @tab Delete all child objects of the
## axes and reset all axes properties to their defaults.  However, the
## following properties are not reset: Position, Units.  This is equivalent
## to @code{cla reset}.
## @end multitable
##
## If the optional input @var{hfig} or @var{hax} is given then prepare the
## specified figure or axes rather than the current figure and axes.
##
## The optional return value @var{hax} is a graphics handle to the created
## axes object (not figure).
##
## @strong{Caution:} Calling @code{newplot} may change the current figure and
## current axes.

## FIXME: The Matlab function takes an optional list of file handles, hsave,
##        which are not deleted when the figure and axes are prepared.
##        I'm sure there is a good reason for that, but coding such
##        compatibility is really tricky and doesn't serve much purpose since
##        newplot is nearly exclusively used by Octave's internal plotting
##        functions.  In Octave's case the argument is almost always null,
##        or occasionally the axes handle to plot into.
