I think that what you're reporting is a bug. It works with gca() but 
not with gda().

Note for cranks: this happens identically in Scilab 4.1.2, ScicosLab 
and even Scilab5.

If you don't want to use gca(), as a workaround you could perhaps use 
the style argument to plot2d, with negative value:

x=[0:0.1:2*%pi];
plot2d(x-2,sin(x),style=-2)
