[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37273] print("-color", "-textspecial", "-dfig", "filename.fig") does not produce color or special text.

[Aqeel Akber]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #37273 (project octave):

I have found a workaround for this issue using the drawnow command.

Using the command:
drawnow("fig color textspecial","filename.fig",false,"/dev/null")

However this still produces a fig file which is completely black, but
following the solution to that bug listed here:
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2012-September/053818.html

Opening filename.fig in a text editor you can safely delete the the poly lines
(lines starting with 2) which have final property value of 5 as well as the
corresponding line underneath it. That is, the first 4 lines after the colour
definitions of the file.

You will now a colourful, special text, visible xfig plot.

The print command is still broken. It doesn't seem to pass color or special
text flags but this is a very easy workaround.
