Your newly filed bug #53861 is about the tikzstandalone device not being recognized by Octave.

And bug #48474 is still open, which is about adding more terminals to the gnuplot binary bundled with Octave for Windows.

So I think we are covered, no need to keep this bug open.

Or change title to

I raised a post to octave-maintainers list. http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/unknown-device-tikzstandalone-td4687923.html

Please close here.

Sorry for noise.
Perhaps I file a bug by another title.

Hmmmm using external gnuplot that has lua/tikz terminal


>> gnuplot_binary C:\Programs\gp523-64\bin\gnuplot
>> graphics_toolkit gnuplot
>> fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi])
>> print("test.tikz", "-dtikzstandalone")
error: print: unknown device tikzstandalone
error: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 259 column 5
    print at line 322 column 8

>> print("test.tikz", "-dtikz")
## works for tikz but not tikzstandalone



I should change the title.

There is no tikzstandalone support for octave for winodws because
tikzstandalone requires gnuplot with lua/tikz terminal and embedded gnuplot with octave for windows does not support lua/tikz terminal.

At the bug tracker in the past
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=48474

I submitted the patch which enables some terminals including the lua/tikz terminal.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=48474#comment74

But tikz support has been ignored until now.

Why has been the patch for lua/tikz ignored?

In octave manual, description of tikzslandalone exists and it is mentioned that tikzslandalone require lua/tikz terminal for gnuplot.

I think that gnuplot embedded with octave must have lua/tikz support. Otherwise please delete description oh of the  tikzslandalone from the manual.
