[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40259] Printing in landscape mode is clipped

[sergey plotnikov]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #40259 (project octave):

I've played with that in Matlab and it's not so straightforward, i'd say. In
the following example all three pdfs are landscape oriented but with a
different figure position on a paper (files are attached):


>> figure
>> plot (rand (3,3))
>> get(gcf,'papertype')
ans =
usletter
>> set(gcf,'papersize',[11 8.5])
>> get(gcf,'papertype')
ans =
<custom>
>> get(gcf,'paperorientation')
ans =
portrait
>> print('-dpdf','land1.pdf')
set(gcf,'paperorientation','landscape')
>> get(gcf,'papersize')
ans =
    8.5000   11.0000
>> print('-dpdf','land2.pdf')
>> get(gcf,'paperposition')
ans =
    0.2500    2.5000    8.0000    6.0000
>> orient(gcf,'landscape')
>> get(gcf,'papersize')
ans =
    8.5000   11.0000
>> get(gcf,'paperposition')
ans =
    0.2500    0.2500    8.0000   10.5000
>> get(gcf,'paperorientation')
ans =
landscape
>> print('-dpdf','land3.pdf')


There are actually some behavior differences comparing to Octave:

* once papersize is changed papertype should be set to <custom>
** but paperorientation should stay the same
* for a "custom" papertype -- changing paperorientation should swap papersize
components irrespective to width/height ratio
* _print ()_ should use papersize as it is for portrait oriented figures and
swap papersize components (if needed) respecting width>height for lanscape
oriented figures

But anyway, the change set you offered should be applied in case of standard
papertypes since their papersize should be always set in line with
paperorientation.
