[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52866] print() function doesn't accept '-RGBImage' option

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #52866 (project octave):

I attached a patch that I'll push soon if no one objects.

The main changes are the addition of print options "-opengl", "-painters" and
"-RGBImage" for the qt tookit.
 
In practice, printing to raster formats will now use "getframe" to produce
pixels and "imwrite" to save them. 
* Pros:
** WYSIWYG: EPS font and transparency limitations are no more an issue.
** In my experience the quality of the output is generally better (for
complicated 3D lit surfaces in particular).
* Cons:
** gl2ps only features such as primitive sorting and linecap/linejoin handling
are not present. For example, zooming the corner of an axes will show the same
bad junction as we see on screen with large line width (see bug #39643).
