[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52878] Tiny plots in Qt/FLTK plotting window on UHD / hidpi display

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #52878 (project octave):

I'm not completely following the QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS issue, but it is
strange that Octave would use the bottom right corner and left/bottom
justification...as opposed to center justification.  Or is this
QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS something that Qt does, completely unrelated to
Octave?  Can you provide some simple bash command that will illustrate for me?
 I tried


QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=0.5 /usr/local/src/octave/octave/build1/run-octave
--no-gui


but nothing seems any different with


octave:1> graphics_toolkit qt
octave:2> plot(1:50)


I know what you mean about plot appearance, and I agree about Qt plot
appearance.  However, even Matlab isn't always great either.  For example, I
don't like so much white space around the borders...seems a waste and always
causes problems in trimming inside a document.  (It's easy to add white space
in documents, not take it away.)  Whatever the application, whenever I create
a figure for publication I end up spending hours adjusting this, changing
that.
