Rik,

You are correct in saying that a lot has changed since this
report about gnuplot (the then only available tool). When
I worked on this I could see no way to include gnuplot,
and I do not see any motivation for trying to find a way
to include it now.

So, closing this report is appropriate.

A lot has changed since this bug was filed in 2011.  I updated the documentation and the example code for using the pdflatexstandalone printing flow.  See cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a08e277f985f.

I see that this bug is filed against "Plotting with gnuplot".  The gnuplot toolkit doesn't currently support "latex" as an interpreter.  I suppose that could be a new bug report, but I think this report can be closed.

This issue is still present in Octave 4.2.0.

I will attach the pdf output as well as the screenshot. (The screenshot is now even uglier as before.)

The issue is still present.  The bug was filed against gnuplot printing of TeX-formatted text since this is still the only way to get TeX hardcopy.  The quickest way to see the difference is to look at the limits of the integral ("0" and "x") in the resulting pdf file.  In the 3.2.4 version they are appropriately sized.  In 3.4.3 and onwards they are too small.  The change happened a long time ago in the upgrade from 3.2.X to 3.4.X.

5/15/2011 is not so recent now.  Has this problem been fixed?  It seems to work better now, especially with opengl+fltk.  But the results I see now are not exactly the same as what Michael showed in his original testpdf.pdf file, but maybe that's because of font differences?  The attached file is what I see using 3.8.0.

Well, printing with opengl+fltk doesn't work, but that's a separate bug.  I'm attaching a screen shot for that one.

Confirmed that this is still an issue even with a very recent tip (5/15/2011).

The attached 2 plots (Figure 15.7 in the Manual)
show a problem with the gnuplot tex interpreter.
The PDF testpdf.pdf is from 3.2.4, testpdf_3_5_0.pdf
is from the current 3.5.0+.

The chosen font for 3.5.0+  (and I am quite sure for
3.4.0) is smaller than under current 3.2.4.  It
is nearly unreadable.

While this is still under development for both gnuplot
and fltk, it would be good to try to recover the 3.2.4
functionality for gnuplot.

The script used, copied directly from the Manual pg. 258,
is also attached.  Note that it does not
include the 'interpreter','tex' option, but works anyhow.
The use of "interpreter option" is mentioned in the current
Manual, but is not defined.
