Ok. I start by committing some new functions.
scripts/plot/__ghostscript_binary__.m : returns the name of the gs
binary.
scripts/plot/__get_eps_bbox__.m : extract the eps-file's bbox.
scripts/plot/__fix_eps_bbox__.m : replace bbox with a tight version.
scripts/plot/psfrag.m : uses psfrag to substitute latex text into eps
files.
I'll leave __ghostscript__.m to Michael.
I'm considering a new approach to the print options. They are in a bit of a
mess presently. I'll make a proposal once I have something functioning and
tested. Essentially, I'm planning to have the options apply more uniformly to
all device types.
I don't plan to modify __gnuplot_print__, until after an acceptable solution
for __fltk_print__ is finished. At that point, the gnuplot version can be
modified to behave in consistent manner. Presently, I don't expect this will
limit printing for the gnuplot backend.
