I'm a bit confused.

Is the entire title missing, it is the font size wrong?

Please also tell us what OS you are running Octave on and where you obtained your copy.

If you can provide a simple example (script) and attach the resulting jpeg that would be helpful as well.

Ben

I'm using Octave 3.2.4.

When I go to print a plot, it does not print the plot title to file (-djpeg)

or print the axes in the font size I selected. Both appear in the plot

window, but neither in file. Is there something I need to do prior to

printing to "finalize" the image?

thanks,

Philip

Can you give us a short example script so that we may try to duplicate your result?

Ben

See attached script and 2 images.
the -dpng has an incorrectly shaped box around the legend.
the -djpeg **does** have the title (I had to change the original script due to proprietary data, I originally used a string concantenated with strcat()) but does not respect the font sizing.

Thanks for the detail.

Octave is trusting gnuplot to handle the fontsize correctly. Unfortunately, gnuplot doesn't handle the fontsize consistently across different output formats.

The legend problem is also with gnuplot.

I don't have a copy of 3.2.4 to try (this problem should be fixed in the 3.4.x serious) Please try the syntax below, and let us know if you get a better result.

clf

title('Wyle Data')

x = -pi:0.01:pi;

plot(x, sin(x), 'bs');

axis([0.,pi,-1,1]); 

legend('Wyle Test','CFD','location','southeast');

legend('boxon');

xlabel("x/D");

ylabel("Cp");

print -F18 test.jpg
