Hi,
I have one problem when I try to use the function print in Octave
3.1.54 and 3.1.55. I create a plot composed of 3 subplots and I
try to generate a *.ps file with print() function. In Octave 3.0.3
compiled for me and 3.0.4 from Debian official repositories all
runs OK and the plot is created without errors. But with versions
3.1.54 and 3.1.55 compiled for me the plot created hs some errors:
1. The plot is not extended the full paper
2. The titles of the subplots are mixed in the upper subplots
The code of my test script is:
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(randn(3));
title('Title for the first plot');
subplot(3,1,2);
plot(randn(3));
title('Title for the second plot');
subplot(3,1,3);
imagesc(randn(10));
tit = sprintf('First line\nSecond line\nThird line');
title(tit);
print('testplot.ps','-dpsc','-F:8');
Attached I send the example plots (converted to pdf for reduce the
size, but the original are *.ps)
Someone has the same problem?
Thanks
#1 is intended. The current sources respect the figure properties,
papersize, papertype, paperpostion properties, etc.
figure (1)
clf
plot (randn (50, 1))
set (gcf, "paperunits", "inches"); # the default is "inches"
paper_size = [8.5, 11.0];
set (gcf, "papersize", paper_size)
set (gcf, "papertype", "usletter")
set (gcf, "paperposition", [0.5, 0.5, paper_size-1.0])
print (gcf, strcat ("figtest.ps"), "-dpsc")
While listeners still need to be included to simplify specifying
these properties.
Regarding #2, gnuplot position's the tick-labels, axis-labels, and
title in a more liberal manner than does Matlab. However, the
subplot does position the axes in a compatible manner. This results
in problem with your titles. This problem is also improved by
setting the paperposition property so that the figure fills the
full page.
