Hi.
I am still a bit lost and I'd like to learn what I am doing wrong.
Please, let me know where I make the mistake in my line of thought.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
Let me recap, as I might have not been clear with my problem. My goal is
to produce a print in pdf (ultimately with pdflatex, and that is why
fltk is a must) with small margins, that is: a paper filled with the
figure. The orient command can be used for this, as it is supposed to
orient the paper and scale the figure to fit the page with a 0.25 inch
border.
Using orient with gnuplot works nicely, whereas with fltk it does not,
as the figures are not scaled properly to fill the paper.
What somehow works is to adjust manually the sizes of the figure and the
paper so that they are the same, making sure that the size fits in the
screen. In this sense one can first define the size of the paper first
and then adjust the size of the figure or viceversa. For example:
*Adjusting the size of the paper to the size of the figure:
----
clear all;graphics_toolkit fltk;
plot (rand (3))
fig_size=get(gcf,'position')(3:4); %in pixels
paper_size=fig_size/72; %in inches, gives [7.7778 5.2778]
border = 0;
set (gcf,'papertype', '<custom>');
set (gcf,'paperunits', 'inches');
set (gcf,'paperorientation','landscape')
set (gcf,'papersize', paper_size);
set (gcf,'paperposition', [border, border, (paper_size - 2*border)]);
print foo1.pdf
---
*Adjusting the size of the figure to the paper
----
clear all;graphics_toolkit fltk;
paper_size=[10 6]; %in inches
border = 0;
set (gcf,'papertype', '<custom>');
set (gcf,'paperunits', 'inches');
set (gcf,'paperorientation','landscape')
set (gcf,'papersize', paper_size);
set (gcf,'paperposition', [0, 0, paper_size]);
fig_size=(paper_size-2*border)*72;%in pixels
set (gcf,'position',[0 0 fig_size]);
plot (rand (3))
print foo2.pdf
---
The results are similar in both cases, and although better than using
orient, the figure has still somehow large margins even with border=0.
Compare the attached foo1.pdf with foo3.pdf, which was generated using
the same code but with gnuplot instead of fltk.

I mean you can output a smaller image/page, and then scale the result using
ghostscript (or some other utility outside of octave).
Yes, that is what I will do if I don't find a solution from within
octave. I will print to a pdf, use for example pdfcrop to automatically
remove the excess of margins and InkScape to export to latex.
Thanks again for your patience.
