When the figure and axis backgrounds were added, the rectangles have the black border lines on by default. Easy oversight. Since the border is controlled separately, there is no need for these rectangles to have borders. Changeset is attached. Reword the summary line if you desired.

Confirmed.

Octave has been transitioning away from gnuplot since version 3.6 precisely because we don't have very good control over the output since the plotting is done in a different program. The obvious workaround is to use the qt or fltk toolkit.

This issue may, or may not, get fixed depending on whether someone who knows the gnuplot interface code wants to wrestle with this. The file to change will be _go_draw_axes_.m in scripts/plot/util/private.

With gnuplot, the command box off does not work as expected and indeed achieved with fltk and qt graphics toolkits. The plot's frame is not removed. Rather, only the ticks disappear on the upper and the right borders, but the lines themselves remain.

I posted the question to stackoverflow, where I give the following example:

Attached is a picture that illustrates output from these commands in both qt and gnuplot.

This applies to versions 3.8.1, 3.8.2, and 4.0.0-rc3, and Windows OS as well.
