Re: Printing and Exporting scatter3

[Stephen H. Dawson]

Thanks, Mike.

I tried printing from command window. I realized I needed to install
epstk. I have now installed and loaded epstk even though it is not
showing in pkg list

'>> pkg list
Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
     general *|   1.3.4 | /usr/share/octave/packages/general-1.3.4
    geometry *|   1.7.0 | /usr/share/octave/packages/geometry-1.7.0
          io *|   2.0.2 | /usr/share/octave/packages/io-2.0.2

The GUI, though experimental, exports and prints the gray bars at the
top and bottom...the menu and status bars. I realize I am not on the
latest release so this may have been resolved.




These syntax examples do generate output.

print -djpg figure_name.jpg

print -solid figure_name.pdf


saveas (1, "figure_name.png");

saveas (1, "figure_name.jgp");

saveas (1, "figure_name.eps");



However, there are no grid lines on the Z axis contrary to the file
example you shared.




Also, the title is not wrapping when printing or exporting but does when
rendered on screen.

title ({'TOP TITLE', 'Bottom Title'},"fontweight", "bold");



Thank You,
