plot titles are off of the plot
Hi - I'm using Octave 3.2.0 on a Mac. When I create plots, the titles are not entirely in the plot window (see attached "Picture 1.png"). I've tried re-adjusting the physical position of the titles, but it doesn't fix the problem (the text is still cut off, or I have to make it overlap with the plot itself). I see this behavior using GnuPlot with either X11 or Aquaterm as my back-end. The behavior is really annoying, since, to see the actual plot titles, I have to save the plot to an external file, which looks fine (see attached "Picture 2.png"). Does anybody have any idea what is causing this? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Charles

Hi Charles
How did you create the PNG file? I believe your problem might be
related to this:

Re: plot titles are off of the plot
yes, I get this problem with 3.2 on 10.5 all the time. Since I always
export an svg to Inkscape for presentation it hasn't been a problem -
but it is a minor nuisance.

If you make an adjustment to the "position" property, you'll be able
to compensate for this *feature* of the gnuplot backend. The
developers are currentl working on a new backend, but printing is not
yet supported.
To compensate, try ...
set (gca, "position", [0.26 0.22 0.645 0.705])
... and then try your print command again.

Re: plot titles are off of the plot
To clarify: - The title is off the plot when I make a plot (whether it's a contour plot, a surface plot, a stem plot, a plain plot, etc.). The title is always off of the plot so that I can only see the bottom portion of the words. (this was the screenshot, attachment Picture 1.png)
- When I use the 'saveas' command to save the plot to a file, everything looks fine. (this was the attachment Picture 2.png) So the problem isn't with the saved figure, it's with the plots that are created and shown to me on the screen. Thus, if I want to see the title of a plot, I have to save it using the 'saveas' command and open the picture file.

My question was not if you use the plot command (I can't think of an alternative), but if you use the print command to save the plot to a file. As demonstrated in the thread linked above, saving figures to files may not always result in proper "bounding boxes", i.e. the stuff in the figure might lie outside the figure boundaries in the saved file. My last message in the mentioned thread illustrates how to get around this issue (which might also be useful to adjust the "bounding boxes" for figures displayed on screen). Yet, I am not sure if this is really what is causing your problem.

Re: plot titles are off of the plot
Hi Ben - Thanks for the 'set' suggestion, but it doesn't work - it's moving the plot itself, not the title. I tried putting the command right before and right after the title command, and putting it at the end of all the commands related to the plot, but they all give the same result - the plot, not the title, is shifted.

Re: plot titles are off of the plot
apologies for jumping in.... In my case both the title and the xlabel are not displayed in Aquaterm. There is nothing wrong with the files that are created -- in both your tests I generate the same files that you get and both open with proper title and labels, although Test1 is better presentation - less white space at the top. However running your procedure does bring the title into view on Aquaterm during Test2 - do you have a suggestion for bringing the xlabel into view?

The same approach can be used. The axis position property adjusts the
lower left corner of the axis within the figure window, as well as the
width and height of the axis. The position property is a 4 element
vector. The 1st and 2nd elements are coordinates for the lower left
corner. The 3rd and 4th elements are the width and height of the axis
box. Thus, you can fix this problem by ...
close all
figure (1)
plot (1:10)
xlabel ("xlabel")
ylabel ("ylabel")
title ("title")
p = get (gca, "position");
p(3) = p(3)-2*p(1);
p(4) = p(4)-2*p(2);
p(1) = 2*p(1);
p(2) = 2*p(2);
set (gca, "position", p)
The above produces a rather small axis, so you may want to make some
adjustments. Once you obtain a result that suits you, you may save the
setting so that future plots use it as well.
set (0, "defaultaxesposition", p)
If you want that to stick the next time you run octave, add that
command to your ~/.octaverc file
set (0, "defaultaxesposition", [0.26 0.22 0.515 0.595])
Ben
p.s. please respond at the bottom of the email so that the entire
thread is easier for others to follow. Thanks.
