Can anyone with access to Matlab do:

plot(randn(3), ".y", "markersize", 24, "markeredgecolor", "k")

print t1.png

and send the resulting png?

It appears that Octave is Matlab compatible and that for the '.' marker, the property 'markeredgecolor' rather than 'markerfacecolor' like all other markers, determines which color to use.  This issue pertains to bug report https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48208.  Could someone with access to Matlab run the following and report back on bug #48208?

h = plot (1:3, '.b')
get (h, 'markersize')       % What is default (should be 6)
get (h, 'markerfacecolor')  % What is default (blue, or something else)
get (h, 'markeredegcolor')  % What is default (blue, or something else)
set (h, 'markerfacecolor', 'm') % does dot change to 'magenta'?
set (h, 'markeredgecolor', 'g') % does dot change to 'green'?

%% Secondary test for markersize compatibility.
get (0, 'screenpixelsperinch')  % Current resolution
set (h, 'markersize', 4)   % what is size of marker in pixels on screen?
set (h, 'markersize', 16)  % what is size of marker in pixels on screen?
set (h, 'markersize', 36)  % what is size of marker in pixels on screen?

Thanks,
