Re: Plot problem?

[Robert T. Short]

Interesting.

I am using 4.2 patchlevel 2, but installed patchlevel 5 and got the same 
thing.

This is with the tip as of Saturday or so.  Note that a standard 4/3 
monitor ALMOST works, but not quite. 

This is the difference between using octave and going back to MATLAB, so 
I have been playing with gnuplot and looking through the octave sources 
to find out what is going on.  I will let you know - a patch if I can 
figure it out or a second request if I can't.  MATLAB doesn't really 
work either though, because I need to do some fairly complex annotation 
and way prefer to use xfig for that.
