Re: Problems adapting Visual Style of Octave Graph

[Alaak]

Hi,

The command set(gca(), 'box', 'off') unfortunately also removes the two 
borderlines. I'd rather would only remove the thicks. However it was 
possible to fix this by plotting a straight line add the border using 
the 'xlim' and 'ylim' properties.

With the fltk toolkit setting the grid line style works now. Thanks for 
that. Although a small problem remains. The FLTK toolkit seems to have 
shrunk the spacing between the y label and the y axis and now the y 
label overlaps with the numbers on the y axis. I was able to fix this 
using:
        get(get(gca(),'ylabel'))
to get the current coordinates of the label at the position property 
and then set new coordinates using something like:
       set(get(gca(), 'ylabel'), 'position', [-650.05991 0.50000 
0.00000])

The 'xcolor', 'ycolor' and 'zcolor' properties do unfortunately not set 
the color of the axis itself but only of the labels and thicks if I use 
it like: set(gca(), 'xcolor', [1 0 0]); So is there anything I might 
miss here?

Regards
