@Dmitri: I posted a more specific bug report about the issue with "demo hold 6": bug #55647

@Avinoam: I'd like to close this report so that we can cross it on the bug fix list.
In the end the original problem is that Octave has issues when printing using proprietary "Intel HD Graphics 4600" opengl driver. Can you file a new report? Since the official mxe build uses MESA by default, this would be a feature request to allow Octave to use other opengl drivers on Windows?

@Dmitri: Yes, it looks like epstool cropping utility does not do well will huge amounts of possibly corrupted triangles, so either eliminating bad triangles ("axis auto") or not using epstool ("-loose") solves the issue.

Yes it looks better, though it is either "axis auto" or "loose" seems what makes all the difference (not neccessary both).

If I run the script:


for ii=1:100
        ii
        demo hold 6;
        axis auto
        print toto2.eps -depsc2 -loose
        close all
endfor


then w/o "loose" and "axis auto" it is crashing within 10 reps or so. With either of those enabled, it runs through all 100.

@Avinoam: Maybe use "--disable-system-opengl" configure option?

@Dmitri: Can you confirm that "demo hold 6; axis auto; print -loose -depsc toto.eps" works better?

Thanks, @Pantxo, you are absolutely right: in my version:


>> __opengl_info__
   version: 4.0.0 - Build 9.18.10.3220
    vendor: Intel
  renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600


In official version


>> __opengl_info__
   version: 3.1 Mesa 18.1.5
    vendor: VMware, Inc.
  renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 256 bits)


How do I build MXE-Octave with Mesa?

@Avinoam: IIRC mxe-octave is now configured by default to use the MESA software driver, but you could look at "__opengl_info__" and see if you are picking the same opengl library in both builds.

@Dmitri: "demo hold 6" triggers bug #48689 which produces a huge amount of triangles. With this demo, I can confirm that I see frequent errors either with Ghostscript hanging with 100% CPU load or Octave itself. When I set "axis auto" before printing (to workaround bug #48689), the figure is printed but with a wrong bounding box (see bad_bbox.eps). I need to avoid the cropping using "-loose" to recover a correct figure:


demo hold 6
axis auto
print -depsc bad_bbox.eps
print -depsc -loose good_bbox.eps


For me "demo hold 6" is far from the only one affected by the "-loose" option.

I used the official rc1 for windows, and there was no problem.
I do not see any relavant change between rc1 and my version.
Is it a problem with my build?

FWIW:
with hg id b6e65db78f0c (stable) tip


demo hold 6
print t1.eps -depsc2

sporadically crashes epstool or just had gs hanging with 100% load. LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 does not solve the issue.

Fedora 29; gs 9.25

gs version bundled with MXE-Octave is GPL Ghostsciprt 9.16 (2015-03-30)

What is the version of Ghostscript that is installed along with mxe-octave? Was it upgraded recently? I am asking because on linux Mint 19.1, with GS 9.26 and Octave 5.0.90 or Octave 4.2.2, I see Ghostscript issues (wrong bounding box in eps output for "demo hold 6") that I can't reproduce on debian stretch, with GS 9.25 and Octave 5.0.90 or Octave 4.4.

@Avinoam: Thanks. Indeed when there are rotated objects (like clabels) we switch to the painters renderer. Can you inspect (and eventually attach) the original eps file?


demo clabel 1
print -depslatexstandalone foo
open foo-inc.eps


Actually I can't reproduce this issue with clabel hanging Octave. But I just noticed various ghostscript error messages (and no output) when printing camzoom and a few other demos with the painters renderer. This is probably not related so I'll file a separate bug report.

Checking  again with last 5.0.90 version (hg_id = e2e1aed33f7c, not official rc1)
compare_plot_demos stuck again in clabel_01.
In __print_parse_opts__  line 236


        arg_st.renderer = "painters";


and then gs stuck, and cause Octave to stop responding.
Killing gs makes Octave work again, until the next demo.

@Avinoam: This is very strange. When printing to PNG, gl2ps is not supposed to be used unless you force the "-painters" renderer. Can you test again with the first release candidate?
