[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45285] printing with "-S..." option messes figure size and png output

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #45285 (project octave):

@juanpi: I'd like to deprecate the "-S" option:
* It is easy to do the same job with the "paperposition" property  and this
technique avoids having to scale figures at very large size.

plot (1:10);
ppos = pos = get (gcf, "paperposition"); ## in inch
## Suppose we want a square figure with 4000 pixels sides
pos(4) = pos(3);
set (gcf, "paperposition", pos)
dpi = 4000/pos(3);
print (sprintf ("-r%d", dpi), "toto.png")

* Matlab does not have it so there is no compatibility problem

Do you have any objection.
