Details:

Hello,

I'm attaching a simple program that demonstrates the problem(s).

When I run this interactively under octave, I see (on the screen) exactly
what want and expect.  I define a file name on line 35, and there is a print
command on the next line, to save the plot in a file.

The problem is that the saved plot file, for some backends, does not match
what was on the screen.  My goal was to eliminate white space between panels;
on the screen it works, but with ".ps", ".pdf", it does not-- white space
(enough for the x-tick mark labels) is introduced.  With ".jpg", ".png", and
".eps" the plot file is correct, no white space introduced.  However, for
".eps" everything, axes, labels, lines, text all look very thin and/or faint.

Side question: Is there a way to suppress the x-tick labels on the first
(top) three subplots?  (Maybe, if I could do that, then the .pdf and/or .ps
backends would not introduce that white space.  And the plots would look much
better.)

Environment:
  GNU Octave, version 3.2.3
  Ubuntu 8.04

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
