The Octave Maintainer's usually don't find it worthwhile to chase Matlab compatibility when the behavior is undocumented.  It could change at any time, and in this case there is an acceptable solution using imwrite which will work with either Octave or Matlab without re-coding.

I've lowered the severity and priority.  If a changeset is contributed that addresses the issue I'm pretty sure it would be reviewed,  But I don't think core maintainers will work on this.

The other software product apparently allows to set the jpeg quality when printing:


print('foo.jpg', '-djpeg100');


but this appears to be a undocumented feature, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/58305927/3811887

It would be easy to implement this (perhaps we should add it to the "little project" page on our wiki):

  • Parse and validate the quality in _print_parse_opts_.m
  • add it to the call of imwrite around line 707. imwrite already supports the "quality" option.
