I used to know Matlab and have recently started using Octave. I was having problems generating PDFs of my graphs and have upgraded to 3.2.2 for windows to resolve that issue. Now that I can generate proper PDFs, my script does not display the graphs correctly any more. Previously, I could plot and scale them, but the PDF was always a portrait version. Now, I get the graph and can set the axes, but now it is merely a ribbon across the page and not legible. How do I stretch the graph vertically so that it is legible again? Is this a known issue? Once this is resolved, How do I generate a landscape PDF of this graph which will actually fill the page?
The script I am running uses these pertinent lines:
[ax, h1, h2] = plotyy(time,press,time,volt);
xlabel ("Time (min)");
ylabel (ax(1), "Pressure (psi)");
ylabel (ax(2), "Voltage (V)");
grid(ax(1),"on");
# set max values to 100 psi and 6 V
set (ax(1),"ylim",[0,110]); #All is good to here.
set (ax(2),"ylim",[0,6]);
When I type the last line to set the 2nd axis, it gets set correctly, but the first y axis gets vertically crushed, though the x axis is fine. It displays across the middle of the resulting figure. This did not happen with 3.2.0 for windows, but does now. Is there a bug in plotyy or am I making a simple mistake with the graphics handling?
Thanks,
Keith

I was able to reproduce your problem using Octave 3.2.3 on OS X 10.6. I then searched the bug reports and found that it was reported on Nov 9, 2009. The report was titled: "plotyy force dataaspectratio." The report was originally filed by Christoph Ellenberger and there was some followup discussion. Liam G.
