Tatsuro's example works for me with gnuplot, but with fltk the right edge of 
the plot is clipped and is not centered.  I recall this being fixed in the 
developer's sources.

        graphics_toolkit gnuplot
        hf = figure();
        fplot ("sin", [0, 2*pi]);
        print(hf, 'dummy.pdf',  '-landscape');
