default color of bar plots

[John W. Eaton]

The changeset

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e36c2f4ea8f5

caused the default color of bar plots to go from blue to a light green
color.

I could undo the changeset, but I suspect that is not the correct fix.

Is Octave handling clim, cdata, and cdatamapping correctly (as in
compatible with Matlab) for patch graphics objects?

If not, what is supposed to be happening.  It is my understanding that
patch objects are supposed to be colored according to the current
colormap, but I'm not sure what properties affect that behavior, or
how they are supposed to work.  Some help with this would be much
appreciated.
