[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44916] Printing Qt-drawn figures produces faulty files

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #44916 (project octave):

Martin, do you also see strange results with fltk?

Can you please try the following Windows distribution and see if it also fails
(using the FLTK toolkit, since that was all that was in 3.8.2).

I have reports that 3.8.2 was working on systems where the current 4.0.0-rc4
builds fail.  This binary is a build of 3.8.2 from the Mercurial archive with
the current build tools and two changes:

  * print.m bypasses ghostscript and just saves the PostScript generated by
gl2ps in a file.

  * the zip file includes a copy of the new octave.vbs wrapper script.

Use the octave.vbs wrapper script to start Octave, then in addition to
whatever tests you've been running, will you please try

  plot (1:10)
  print -depsc foo.eps

and check the generated foo.eps file?  The symptom of failure for this one is
usually that the line on the screen runs from (1,1) to (10,10) but in the
printed file is typically starts at (2,2) or sometimes (3,3) (I think).

Thanks.
