[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34148] Subplots with gnuplot overlap with plotyy

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #34148 (project octave):

Thanks Ben,  glad you were finally able to hear what I have been saying since
#6 about the label placement issue. 


For the spacing, which was the main point here, the output is frankly
unusable. As a solution I would suggest at least some padding in the table of
subplots. This could probably be an accessible property. 

More rigorously, there needs to be at least an attempt at evaluating the text
extents, notwithstanding the limitations of gnuplot here. It appears currently
to be using zero as the extent. 

At some stage running this subplot I got a temporary vertical and horezontal
line visible as it rendered each subplot. The x1,y1 tickmarks and labels were
outside of this crosshair. 

This would seem to be the way Mathlab works. My impression from seeing this
happen is that the text extent is simple not being taking into account or the
way it is evaluated is returning zero in under gnuplot.

As can be seen for the attachments to #4 the fltk plot has wide spacing that
easily accommodates the labels etc. 

My guess is that the code is not getting the correct values back in evaluating
text extents with gnuplot. 

If this really is technically impossible (which I doubt) then a decent guess
would be better than zero.
