[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37053] Saveas & Print error when saving as .emf

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #37053 (project octave):

In comment #10, there is a typo.  The output format from pstoedit should be
'-f fig' rather than '-f fix'.

I can now print a file with the .emf extension, but the resulting file won't
load in an EMF viewer (But, it is not 0 bytes).

If I go through the individual steps I get working files along the way until
the conversion from .fig format to .emf format.

In Octave,


plot (1:10)
print -depsc tst1.ps


On command line


c:\Octave\Octave-3.9.1+\bin\pstoedit.exe -f fig tst1.ps > tst1.fig
c:\Octave\Octave-3.9.1+\bin\fig2dev.exe -L emf tst1.fig > tst1.emf


Interestingly, I can take the individual files over to Linux and they are
correct.  tst1.ps displays correctly.  xfig shows a rendering of the fig,
altough the background is wrong.  Finally, if I use fig2dev to convert
tst1.fig to a different format, including emf, the resulting file is fine.  I
think there must be something wrong with fig2dev.exe on the Windows side.

I tried using fig2dev.exe on Windows to convert to other formats and at first
it fails because there is no 'gs.exe' in the path.  I added
'C:\octave\octave-3.9.1+\bin' to the path and now the command will complete,
but none of the outputs are any good.

It's probably not worth figuring this out before the 4.0 release this is a
seldom used format.
