[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44187] Bugs and modifications in print() with gnuplot graphics toolkit

[ederag]

Follow-up Comment #48, bug #44187 (project octave):

@Ben
Thanks for the doc update. But, I believe to have already grasped the intended
behaviour correctly.
The point I raised in comment #44 is _not_ a mere documentation issue. It is a
matter of consistency, that renders the code much more difficult to write and
maintain. Even the Mathworks, with all their manpower, were not able to make a
reliable implementation of it. Maybe you can, but not without a lot of time
lost, IMHO.

@Rik
Two changes occurred in the last week of november. And even more with the code
sprint. A merge will be needed eventually.
I did merge with default periodically, and it worked fine here.
Maybe I should have set a public repo ?

Meanwhile I propose to branch, for testing purpose:
hg update --clean 20741:a5ab31b52ae8

# wysiwyg_15c12da_bunch.hg.diff is the attached file,
# including all the necessary changesets
hg import wysiwyg_15c12da_bunch.hg.diff

# all tests pass
  PASS     13440
  FAIL         0
  XFAIL       14
  SKIPPED     77

Beware that the demo print crashes.
But after a merge with default, 
hg merge -r 20881:7234cbd04292
(for the only conflict, choose the new branch), 
now it is working.

Any advice for a better workflow would be welcome.

For pdflatexstandalone I'll have another patch. But the solution depends on
the decision about the paper* stuff.
