I know this sounds like mor ework, but at the end is the fastest and
more effective way I know to get high-quality customized plots.
- print as svg from Octave
- Open the svg and improve, prune the plot and do what you want using Inkscape
- Save the svg to any format you like. Inkscape uses cairo for most
exports and it works pretty well. If you export to pdf you will get
not compressed pdf that can make the file big sometimes. For that
export to eps and then use epstopdf to get a compressed pdf.
Hope this helps you.
