[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49044] gnuplot enhanced text specification has changed for versions >= 5.0

[Rik]

Update of bug #49044 (project octave):

                 Summary: gnuplot graphics_toolkit: Warning on "demo ezmesh" 
=> gnuplot enhanced text specification has changed for versions >= 5.0

Follow-up Comment #9:

Re-titling this bug report.  From looking at the gnuplot documentation it is
clear that they changed the syntax that they use.

As a test example, try


close all
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
ht = text (0.5, 0.5, "Hello World");
set (ht, "Fontname", "Arial:Bold");


This correctly produces Arial font in Bold.  It looks like Octave's code needs
to be updated to detect whether it is running gnuplot versions less than or
greater than 5 and then change the commands it issues.  At least for me,
"Sans" also works on Windows.  But it does seem just as easy to use
"Helvetica" which will get mapped to something and is probably has wider
usage.
