[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35439] fltk printed png is restricted by display size

[Konstantinos Poulios]

Update of bug #35439 (project octave):

                  Status:               Postponed => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #8:

I do not agree that this is a restriction of fltk/gl2ps.

If I comment out the setting of position in print.m:

 %    set (opts.figure, "position", fpos);

I can print the attached file with:

 plot(1,1)
 fpos = get (gcf, "position");
 set (gcf, "position", [fpos(1),fpos(2),fpos(3),2000])
 print('-dpng', '/tmp/test.png')

Actually I suspect that this issue is just another manifestation of a race
condition between fltk and octave, as I have described it in detail here:

https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2012-June/028580.html

Other manifestations of this fundamental bug are random output sizes depending
e.g. if print is issued interactively or in a script or if "waits" and
"drawnows" are added in the code.
