Follow-up Comment #21:

noting that this 8yr old report hasn't had an update in 5 years, the test
script in comment #0 produces the same svg images in all three octave
graphics_toolkits (current versions as of v6.4.0, which on windows comes with
gnuplot 5.2), and there is now a general consensus to stop working on gnuplot
workarounds in Octave:


>> graphics_toolkit('gnuplot')
warning: using the gnuplot graphics toolkit is discouraged

The gnuplot graphics toolkit is not actively maintained and has a number of
limitations that are ulikely to be fixed.  Communication with gnuplot uses a
one-directional pipe and limited information is passed back to the Octave
interpreter so most changes made interactively in the plot window will not be
reflected in the graphics properties managed by Octave.  For example, if the
plot window is closed with a mouse click, Octave will not be notified and will
not update it's internal list of open figure windows.
We recommend using the qt toolkit instead.


Closing the report as won't fix. If someone needs this issue resolved to use
gnuplot 4.6 with a recent version of Octave, it can be reopened then.
