Visual comparison of plot files from http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/. You can find the scripts which are used to create these plots in the default branch in scripts/testfun/private. | |||
Here is the generated [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/dump.m fltk/dump.m] as example. | |||

* [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/gnuplot/area_01_1.png gnuplot] + [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/area_01_1.png fltk] area_01_1: draws a green background, [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/matlab/area_01_1.png Matlab] a red one. The FLTK plot furthermore shows tiny vertical white stripes. | |||
* [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/gnuplot/colorbar_23_1.png gnuplot] + [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/colorbar_23_1.png fltk] colorbar_23_1: xtick unreadable. It should check the text_extent and reduce xticks if the xlabels would overlap. | |||
* | * [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/gnuplot/colorbar_01_1.png gnuplot] + [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/colorbar_01_1.png fltk] colorbar* : This is just a matter of taste but I (Andy1978) would prefer a smaller gap (only 40% of the current implementation?) between colorbar and the plot like [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/matlab/colorbar_01_1.png matlab] does. | ||
* | * [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/colorbar_19_1.png fltk] colorbar_19_01.png : unusable colorbar with FLTK ([http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42311 bug#42311]) when log scale is set, fine with [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/gnuplot/colorbar_19_1.png gnuplot] | ||
* gnuplot + ftlk: fill_01_1, fill_02_1: hidden edges keep visible in ML, not with fltk or gnuplot. This seems to be a ML bug when printing to PNG or JPEG and works (same output like gnuplot+fltk) when printing to ps. In FLTK the on-screen images shows the hidden edge and becomes invisible when printing. | |||
* [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/gnuplot/hold_07_1.png gnuplot] + [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/hold_07_1.png fltk]: hold_07_1: red rectangle hides the '^' plot markers. In ML they disappear on-screen as soon as xlim is changed or zoomed. Is this a ML bug? What is the prefered behaviour? | |||
* [http:// | * [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/matlab/patch_04_1.png gnuplot] + [http://tech-chat.de/compare_plot_demos/fltk/patch_04_1.png fltk] patch_04_1: the demo incorrectly assumes the patch "facecolor" is "flat" as octave currently sets this by default (whereas in matlab "facecolor" is "none" by default). This should be fixed with [http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?42159 bug#42159] (this probably is also the cause for black faces in shrinkfaces*) | ||

There are a lot of gnuplot differences and it might be nice to fix those, but someone would have to take an interest.

We can either blacklist, or visually skip over the comparison since it is blank for Matlab. Perhaps should be removed from demos or blacklist axis_09 in dump.m script | ||
