[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33869] minor ticks disappear from log plot with specified xticklabels

[Ronald]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #33869 (project octave):

Ben,

I would also say that it shouldn't matter if you explicitly set "%g" as the
y-axis format or if you omit it. Since "%g" is the default, and in gnuplot
"show format" confirms that this is indeed set.

The odd thing is that when I test it, it does matter. The y-axis is still
shifted slightly more to the right when setting "%g" is omitted (as file
#26945 does) compared to setting "%g".

The exact code I use to test this is:

a=logspace(-2,2,5)
loglog(a,a)
set(gca,'YTickLabel',{'100m','10m','1','10','100'});
ylabel('my y label')


With the above code and file #26921 applied, setting "%s" moves the y-axis the
most to the right, omitting the line (as file #26945 does) a little less, and
setting "%g" (patch in comment #5) gives the least amount of y-axis movement
which works best for me. So file #26945 doesn't really work for me.

The change you pushed (file #26921) does indeed fix minor grid/ticks when
setting xticklabels, but as stated above introduces disproportional movement
of the y-axis when setting the yticklabels.
