Package: octave3.2 Version: 3.2.4-7 Severity: normal
There is a bug in handling of 2d plots with Octave 3.2 and Gnuplot 4.4. I found that while axis equal or axis square change the plot, both on screen and in print, it does not calculate the ratios correctly. Whatever it is setting seems dependent on the window shape, which really should never affect the printout. Forcing __gnuplot_has_feature__("screen_coordinates_for_{lrtb}margin") to 0 fixes this problem. That variable appears to be intended to handle some change in gnuplot 4.3, which I am not aware of. Within __go_draw_axes__ that variable affects not only margin calculation but disables setting of gnuplot parameters origin and size. The variable also affects the axis command itself, as dataaspectratio seems to change format. "axis equal" and "axis square" should be equivalent to gnuplot "set size ratio -1" and "set size ratio 1" respectively. Additionally, there seems to be a developer note about this in __go_draw_axes__: ## FIXME -- nothing should change for gnuplot 4.2.x. Whoever wrote that probably has a better idea than I what's going on. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.1 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages octave3.2 depends on: ii libamd2.2.0 1:3.4.0-2 approximate minimum degree orderin ii libarpack2 2.1+parpack96.dfsg-3+b1 Fortran77 subroutines to solve lar ii libatlas3gf-base 3.8.3-27 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libb 1.2-7 Basic Linear Algebra Reference imp ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcamd2.2.0 1:3.4.0-2 symmetric approximate minimum degr ii libccolamd2.7.1 1:3.4.0-2 constrained column approximate lib ii libcholmod1.7.1 1:3.4.0-2 sparse Cholesky factorization libr ii libcolamd2.7.1 1:3.4.0-2 column approximate minimum degree ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.21.1-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libcxsparse2.2.3 1:3.4.0-2 concise sparse matrix library (com ii libfftw3-3 3.2.2-1 library for computing Fast Fourier ii libfltk1.1 1.1.10-2+b1 Fast Light Toolkit - shared librar ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libftgl2 2.1.3~rc5-3 library to render text in OpenGL u ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-16 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.4.4-16 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7.1-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglpk0 4.43-1 linear programming kit with intege ii libglu1-mesa [li 7.7.1-4 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgomp1 4.4.4-16 GCC OpenMP (GOMP) support library ii libgraphicsmagic 1.3.12-1+b1 format-independent image processin ii libgraphicsmagic 1.3.12-1+b1 format-independent image processin ii libhdf5-serial-1 1.8.4-patch1-2 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjasper1 1.900.1-7+b1 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblapack3gf [li 3.2.2-1 library of linear algebra routines ii liblcms1 1.18.dfsg-1.2+b3 Color management library ii libltdl7 2.2.6b-2 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-3 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqhull5 2009.1-1 calculate convex hulls and related ii libqrupdate1 1.0.1-1 Fast updates of QR and Cholesky de ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-16 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.9.4-3 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libumfpack5.4.0 1:3.4.0-2 sparse LU factorization library ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-6.1+b1 Windows metafile conversion librar ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii octave3.2-common 3.2.4-7 architecture-independent files for ii texinfo 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Documentation system for on-line i ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages octave3.2 recommends: ii gnuplot 4.4.0-1 A command-line driven interactive ii libatlas3gf-base 3.8.3-27 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Versions of packages octave3.2 suggests: ii octave3.2-doc 3.2.4-7 PDF documentation on the GNU Octav ii octave3.2-emacsen 3.2.4-7 Emacs support for the GNU Octave l pn octave3.2-headers <none> (no description available) ii octave3.2-htmldoc 3.2.4-7 HTML documentation on the GNU Octa ii octave3.2-info 3.2.4-7 GNU Info documentation on the GNU -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
