Details:

With gnuplot, the command *box off* does not work as expected and indeed
achieved with fltk and qt graphics toolkits. The plot's frame is not removed.
Rather, only the ticks disappear on the upper and the right borders, but the
lines themselves remain.

I posted the question to stackoverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29700603/octave-remove-the-frame-box-function-with-gnuplot/>,
where I give the following example:

graphics_toolkit gnuplot
%graphics_toolkit qt
hist(rand(1,1000))
box off
%box on


Attached is a picture that illustrates output from these commands in both qt
and gnuplot.

This applies to versions 3.8.1, 3.8.2, and 4.0.0-rc3, and Windows OS as well.
