[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35259] fltk surf plots don't print properly

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #35259 (project octave):

My epstool version is


$ epstool --version
epstool 3.08 2005-06-06


I tried the commands below.


close all
graphics_toolkit fltk
peaks (1)
print -depsc -tight test.eps


They produced an eps-file with the header below.

Using gnuplot, I get the expected result.

Rik, the "print -tight" option isn't equivalent to "axis tight". It shouldn't
change the axis ticks. Instead it tightens the bounding box around the figues
children (which may include one or more axes). Even so, your suggestion that
Octave handle the "-tight" can work for the opengl backends. We'd have to
modify the position properties of each axis to for the looseinset on edges of
the figure's axes to zero. Kostas was good at such things, but its a weakness
of mine. I'll give this some more thought. Perhaps there's another way.
