Octave 3.6.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I also have a working version of GNUPLOT installed (not Gnuplot.app, but rather /opt/bin/gnuplot), which uses Aqua and can write eps/pdf files perfectly.

The problem: figures saved to PDF or EPS files have incorrect orientation, is incorrectly sized, or displays strange color effects, or a combination of the above. This occurs with bar() plot's or traditional xy plots created with the plot(...) command. This occurs with the "saveas" and "print" functions,

A PDF file showing an example is attached. It was generated with the following commands:
+verbatim
w = [ 70 35 15 5 0 ];
h = bar(w);
saveas(h, "saveas_pdf_example.pdf");
-verbatim

I also receive the following warning messages:

warning: print.m: epstool binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
warning: print.m: fig2dev binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
warning: print.m: pstoedit binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.

I should add that I installed Octave via Fink, so if I should direct my
complaints to the Fink maintainer, please let me know.
