[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44418] Qt/FLTK gl2ps EPS printing doesn't scale and orient image correctly.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #44418 (project octave):

Here is the important difference between the two EPS files:


131c131
< 5 5 scale
---
> 446.40 -352.08 scale


It's a bug in gl2ps.  gl2ps 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 are in sourcecodebrowser and I
verified the error.  A scaling by zoom_<dir> was missing.

I guess the options are:

1) Require gl2ps 1.3.6 or greater during configure process.  (Check for
GL2PS_MAJOR_VERSION, GL2PS_MINOR_VERSION and GL2PS_PATCH_VERSION)

2) Issue a first-time-after-startup print warning for images if the gl2ps
version is less than 1.3.6.  E.g., "Warning, upgrade GL2PS to Version 1.3.6
for correct image printing."  The user will still be able to plot other
things.

3) Let it go.

I'm fine with any of those.  Right now I prefer for gnuplot printing anyway.
