[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53535] print with eps driver should use '-tight' bbox by default for Matlab compatibility

[Rik]

Update of bug #53535 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

It does look correct to make tight the default.  However, it looks to be
slightly more complicated.  For unknown reasons there is both a "loose"
setting and a "tight_flag" setting and it is not the case "loose" is simply
the logical inverse of "tight_flag".

In print.m the tight_flag is used to decide how to invoke epstool to produce
output:


    if (opts.tight_flag)
      cmd = "--copy --bbox";


However, the loose option is used to set a different option in
__print_parse_opts__.m.


    if (arg_st.formatted_for_printing)
      arg_st.ghostscript.epscrop = ! arg_st.loose;
    else
      ## pstoedit throws errors if the EPS file isn't cropped
      arg_st.ghostscript.epscrop = true;
    endif


I'm not sure why there are two options and whether they can be safely
collapsed in to one.
