Hello there.
I know this is slightly off-topic (from Octave) but, as an alternative strategy, you might consider using the "trim" command when embedding pdf images in LaTeX. I used the following:
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[trim = 75mm 108mm 77mm 130mm, clip, scale=0.88]{Fig.pdf}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
For convenience, I have called the figure Fig.pdf, and I had placed the following command in the preamble:
\graphicspath{{./figures/}}
The values passed to trim refer, in order, to: left; bottom; right; top. Do not forget to include the "clip" command otherwise the trim will not happen. Also note that I have used a scale parameter, which was appropriate for my particular needs.
To defend posting LaTeX code here, I found this a very useful way to include graphics generated by Octave in LaTeX documents.
You will need to experiment to see what works for you but, if you produce standard pictures, for which the same parameters will be appropriate in each case, then you could define new commands in your LaTeX preamble eg (note different values for parameters than above, which was for a special case for the frontispiece)
\newcommand{\FigScale}{0.55}
\newcommand{\Lcol}{35}
\newcommand{\Rcol}{35}
\newcommand{\Tcol}{93}
\newcommand{\Bcol}{65}
Then a figure might be embedded with eg
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[trim = \Lcol mm \Bcol mm \Rcol mm \Tcol mm, clip, scale=\FigScale]{AnotherFig.pdf}
\end{center}
\caption{\textit{My legend for this figure}}\label{fig:MyLabelForThisFigureSoICanReferToItInTheText}
\end{figure}
I have included a caption and a label to this one, in case it might be helpful. I would then refer to the figure in the text as, for example, see figure \ref{fig:MyLabelForThisFigureSoICanReferToItInTheText}.
Best wishes
David
However good you think Octave is, it's much, much better.
