[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46122] gnuplot printed figure truncated

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #46122 (project octave):

@Ederag,
My point on the axis units, is that it's size on the screen is not related to
the size of the output produced by print() or saveas(). To produce a figure of
a specified size and with a specified font for publication purposes, all that
is needed is to specify the font size of all the objects and to specify the
paperposition width and height.


width = 9;
height = 6;
paperunits = "centimeters";
fontsize = 10;
set (gcf (), "paperunits", paperunits)
set (gcf (), "paperposition", [0 0 width height])
h = findall (gcf (), "-property", "fontsize");
set (h, "fontsize", fontsize)
print -dpdfwrite figure.pdf


If you use -dpdf, then you also need to specify the paper size.


set (gcf (), "papersize", [width, height])

The script I provided works for the qt graphics toolkit. If you like I can try
to work out one for gnuplot as well. The primary difference is that the figure
size for gnuplot needs to be spedified when the figure is created.
