Hallo everybody,
yesterday I posted a question on how to export the ps file of a
figure
from within Octave 2.9.13, but the form I set the question made it
trivial actually, which was not (at least completely). More precisely
I meant extraction with LaTeX labels
in the figure axis, so that one has publication quality figure to
use.
I'm also interested in such a script. I've used LaPrint for Matlab for
years, and would like to have the equivalent functionality in Octave.
LaPrint uses LaTeX's psfrag to replace all eps text objects with LaTeX
versions. This could potentially also be done for Octave.
However, at the present time, I perceive a few hassles with doing
so from
Octave.
(1) No method to automatically search for a figures text objects,
so the
text handles will need to be stored as the text objects are created
and then
passed to the octave script.
(2) Setting [x/y/z]tickmode to 'manual' deletes the labels, so the
[x/y/z]ticklabels will need to be regenerated.
The more significant problem I perceive is
(3) I do no see any manner to set the size of the resulting eps file.
I won't be any use in contributing to Octave's c-code base, but
would be
happy to take a shot at an Octave script that permits LaTeX to
include an
eps file via psfrag ... although the 3rd problem might be a show
stopper.
Can anyone tell me if the size of an eps file may be explicitly set?
