[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59370] Plotting produces wrong output or takes long time, depending on graphics toolkit

[T Knauss]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #59370 (project octave):

This bug report originally was about
- the wrong display of data in figures (obviously caused by the single
precision value processing in qt and fltk), which seems to be addressed in
another issue already,
- and the high CPU usage and delays (partly caused by wrong programming -
"close" missing -, due to incomplete documentation).

If you say that gnuplot is deprecated and has lots of issues, and if you find
that fixing these issues is not worth the time needed, then you should remove
it in the next version of Octave. But you need to improve the qt and fltk
first to use double precision floating point arithmetic. Gnuplot at least
produced a correct result, so if you decide to keep it, then you definitely
need to improve the documentation.

I vote to close this issue, since everything I reported seems to be a
duplicate of something else.
If you think you should create another one for improving the docs, then you
may do so, but I would not change existing issues.
