In the current 3.1.55 development doc/octave.pdf, pg. 248
Figure 15.7 the text is missing. Looking at the files in
doc/interpreter I found that the source files are:
extended.eps contains text
extended.pdf contains text
extended.png text is missing
I conclude that "extended.png" was used to produce the Manual.
And, when running a .m file containing the commands shown in
the manual, I get:
octave:1> fig157
octave:2> print("fig157.png","-color")

================================================================
These messages also appear in the make output.
In any case, would it not be better to use the *.eps files for
generating the Manual?
I think that most users include .eps in their documents. (Or, at least,
that is what I see
around here.)
