[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #45488 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #3:

Yeah, I think the main intent of Michael's patch was to remove the dependence
on gnuplot completely. And the main blocker to building the doc image with
fltk is the one plot in the manual that uses TeX markup.

I haven't reviewed the entire patch yet, but it seems to me that calling out
to pdflatex should use a new make variable just in case there is no pdflatex
on the system or it's in a custom location, the usual reasons. And building
the documentation would need to depend on both OSMesa and pdflatex being
present and functional. We use pdftex elsewhere in the build but not pdflatex,
so that's a new build-dependency.
