[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48200] axes labels are not visible printing a figure with gnuplot and epslatex

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #48200 (project octave):

I know that a large rectangle was added some time ago to create a (in this
case) white background so the color of the background could be changed
according to the plot properties.

The way this appears to work is define gplbacktext and gplfrontttext as empty
near the beginning.  Then add to that text along the way.  Then do the
following:


    \gplbacktext
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics{plot-inc}}%
    \gplfronttext


So, yes, if the plot-inc (I ran this with -depslatexstandalone) has a
completely opaque visual field (i.e., white rectangle at bottom) then it will
completely cover the gplbacktext.

A solution that sort of works is to put the text all in gplfronttext, i.e.,
change from


\begin{picture}(8000.00,4800.00)%
    \gplgaddtomacro\gplbacktext{%


to


\begin{picture}(8000.00,4800.00)%
    \gplgaddtomacro\gplfronttext{%


This isn't quite what we want though, is it?  We want something like


    \put(0,0){\includegraphics{plot-background}}%
    \gplbacktext
    \put(0,0){\includegraphics{plot-graphics}}%
    \gplfronttext
