Follow-up Comment #2, bug #68080 (group octave):

OK, so I'm about to get in over my head since I am not a MATLAB/Octave source
coder (and don't want to be).

I think I understand Pantxo's comment about the reset function being the true
issue here.  I've returned to running the original code snippet I sent and am
stepping into code.  My snippet call bar which then calls its private function
__bar__ which then calls newplot, right?  And then at line 209 of newplot
"reset (ca);" gets executed and that's where the axes Position gets changed,
right?  Now, "which reset" replies "'reset' is a built-in function from the
file libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc" which is source/C++ code.  So, Pantxo is
saying the graphics.cc code needs to be modified to fix the problem, right?

I do see that https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/reset.html says that
"MATLAB® does not reset the Position or Units properties for any graphics
object." So, specifically, graphics.cc (and presumably the reset portion of
that file) must be modified to ignore Position and Units properties?

As I said, I'm not a source coder, but I (occasionally) like to understand
what's going on under the hood.  ;-)
