[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44187] Bugs and modifications in print() with gnuplot graphics toolkit

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #44187 (project octave):

I wondered about that, but then thought maybe that was defined behavior, i.e.,
to print as float even if the field specifier indicates integer.  Maybe
something to do with the fact that variable input length functions aren't as
robust in interpreted languages as they are in compiled languages--but that's
just a guess.

It's fine to wait until the other behavior related to the printf family is
resolved.  I found out yesterday that "bg" can be used as a valid color in
gnuplot and that doesn't have the bug of a white rectangle (i.e., "0xffffff")
being cast to black under the mono option.  So I can tweak the patch slightly
in that regard as well when the printf is done, although I think it is
generally correct as is when testing for "none", etc.
