Can you start Octave afresh, with the "-f" switch to make sure no startup file comes in the way and report/upload the result of those commands:


figure ()

## What do the two following commands return for you
get (gcf, "position")(3:4)
get (0, "screenpixelsperinch")

x = rand (1000);
imagesc (x);
title('a random image');

## Can you upload the two files produced by the commands bellow
print toto.jpg
print toto.svg

For me the onscreen figure is 560x420 pixels (`get (gcf, "position")(3:4)`) with a screen resolution of 95dpi (`get (0, "screenpixelsperinch")`) hence 5.9x4.4 inches onsceen. The printout is 875x656 pixels in size, which is (divide by 150dpi) 5.8x4.4 inches as well.

No, all I did was upgrade from the default version that comes with Ubuntu 22.04, which I did because I needed the statistics package.  Before the upgrade, plots were fine.

This works for me.

By default, the output image should have the same size (with resolution 150dpi) as the original one. For me the onscreen figure is 560x420 pixels (`get (gcf, "position")(3:4)`) with a screen resolution of 95dpi (`get (0, "screenpixelsperinch")`) hence 5.9x4.4 inches onsceen. The printout is 875x656 pixels in size, which is (divide by 150dpi) 5.8x4.4 inches as well.

Do you have some system screen scaling?

These commands show the problem for me:

x=rand(1000);
imagesc(x)
title('a random image')
print -djpg test

During the print process, the image has shrunk to about 300x300 pixels, whilst the labels have presumably stayed the same size as they were on the screen.

Can you please provide a complete set of commands to reproduce your problematic behavior?

E.g. the following works for me as it used to:


plot (1:10)
xlabel X
ylabel Y
print /tmp/toto.jpg

Calling print -d jpg used to create a jpg with a good facsimilie of what was on the screen.  Now it creates a tiny little picture with disproportionate label sizes.
