[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40863] 'barh' bars border is dashed

[Ido Halperin]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40863 (project octave):

> Using 3.6.4 and the gnuplot backend I don't see this problem.
under octave with gnuplot using terminal 'x11' the border is continuous in the
figure window. However, it is dashed in the output file that was generated by
"saveas(h1,'bug.svg')".  

>   What Linux  distro and version are you using?
I am using:
3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.10-1 (2013-12-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux
>   Are you using FLTK or gnuplot for plotting?
I am using gnuplot with 'wxt' terminal. Using FLTK give the same results as
gnuplot with 'x11', i.e. continuous in the figure windows but dashed in the
output file. (It should be noted that FLTK doesn't give me dashed line at all.
Even when it should be dashed... but that might be another bug ...)

> If you zoom in to the plot window in Octave, are the borders dashed?  Or is
this only when printing?
Yes. They are dashed also in the 'wxt' figure window when zooming in. I
assume that by 'print' you mean 'printing to file' because I didn't
printed the image by printer. Only inspected the file with
'inkscape' (svg drawing software).

Well, yes but for some reason it is harder to notice. I wrote

saveas(h1,'bug.ps')

and the borders looked sometimes dashed and sometimes continuous. However, by
converting that file to svg it could be seen that the borders are dashed.
