[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47974] Visual differences between gnuplot and OpenGL toolkits

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #29, bug #47974 (project octave):

Ben, I believe gnuplot does have a means to control the placement of labels. 
My perspective on the multiple and sometimes inconsistent terminal behavior is
that I really don't mind if the output format isn't exactly WYSIWYG so long as
there is a way to tweak the plot when it comes to generating a
publication-quality figure.  Anyway, think about this
position/outerposition/actual_position code for a couple days and see if
anything comes back to mind that is obviously wrong.  My fear would be I too
hastily make a big change that runs counter to the positioning paradigm and
break some subtle thing elsewhere that will be equally difficult to debug once
it is discovered.

One thing I'm wondering at the moment is why the axes position, i.e., the
actual coordinates for the axes object, are telling us this is "outerposition"
rather than just "position".  Or, maybe that is what the __actual_position__
intention was.  I.e., if the user specifies placement with respect to
outerposition, __actual_position__ needs to translate that into the location
of the "actual axes position".
