changeset 23201:239a9fed80de

New mechanism to deprecate graphics properties (bug #50327) * genprop.awk (emit_get_accessor, emit_declarations): new flag "d" to mark deprecated properties. Emit warning in generated accessors * graphics.in.h (figure::preoperties, axes::properties): remove FIXME about some deprecated properties and mark them deprecated for genprop.awk * deprecate-props.tst: new test file to be fed with properties that where deprecated in a given version
