[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49223] gnuplot with -depslatexstandalone fails to produce axis labels

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #49223 (project octave):

I don't othink we should assume that all installs will have sed (think
Windows) which is why it would be preferable to have Octave modify the
generated file, or resolve this a different way.

Also, changing the layer property in Octave has other effects besides just the
tics.  Try


close all
plot (1:10, 'o-b', 'linewidth', 5)
grid on
set (gca, 'linewidth', 5, 'gridalpha', 1)
## At this point, the line overlays the grid
set (gca, 'layer', 'top')
## Now the grid overlays the line


We need to preserve that.

I experimented with removing the lines


    ## FIXME: The gnuplot help says that "layerdefault" should work
    ##        for set border too, but it fails for me with gnuplot 4.2.5.
    ##        So, use "back" instead.
    fputs (plot_stream, "set border back;\n");


and the layer property still worked correctly for me.

However, it didn't solve the issue of the axis labels not appearing when the
layer is set to "bottom".  So it appears that there are two things still to be
done.  1) Clean up this FIXME which no longer appears necessary, although I
can only test back to gnuplot 4.6.6, and 2) Replace 'gplbacktext{%' in the
generated tex file.
