## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} print ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} print (@var{options})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} print (@var{filename}, @var{options})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} print (@var{h}, @var{filename}, @var{options})
## Print a graph, or save it to a file.  Both output formatted for 
## printing (PDF and PostScript), and many bitmapped and vector
## image formats are supported.
##
## @var{h} specifies the figure handle.  If no handle is specified
## the handle for the current figure is used.
##
## @var{filename} defines the name of the output file.  If the
## file name has no suffix, one is inferred from the specified
## device and appended to the file name.  If no filename is
## specified, the output is sent to the printer.
##
## For output to a printer, to a PostScript file, or a PDF file,
## the paper size is specified by the figure's @code{papersize}
## property.  The location and size of the image on the page are
## specified by the figure's @code{paperposition} property.  The
## orientation of the page is specified by the figure's
## @code{paperorientation} property.
##
## The width and height of images are specified by the figure's
## @code{paperpositon(3:4)} property values.
##
## The @code{print} command supports several @var{options}:
##
## @table @code
## @item -f@var{h}
##   Specify the handle, @var{h}, of the figure to be printed.  The
##   default is the current figure.
##
## @item -P@var{printer}
##   Set the @var{printer} name to which the graph is sent if no
##   @var{filename} is specified.
##
## @item -G@var{ghostscript_command}
##   Specify the command for calling Ghostscript.  For Unix and Windows,
## the defaults are 'gs' and 'gswin32c', respectively.
##
## @item -color
## @itemx -mono
##   Monochrome or color output.
##
## @item -solid
## @itemx -dashed
##   Forces all lines to be solid or dashed, respectively.
##
## @item -portrait
## @itemx -landscape
##   Specify the orientation of the plot for printed output.  For
## non-printed output the aspect ratio of the output corresponds to
## the plot area defined by the "paperposition" property in the
## orientation specified.  This options is equivalent to changing
## the figure's "paperorientation" property.
##
## @item -TextAlphaBits=@var{n}
## @itemx -GraphicsAlphaBits=@var{n}
##   Octave is able to produce output for various printers, bitmaps, and
## vector formats by using ghostscript.
## For bitmap and printer output antialiasing is applied using
## ghostscript's TextAlphaBits and GraphicsAlphaBits options.
## The default number of bits for each is 4.
## Allowed values, for @var{N}, are 1, 2, or 4.
##
## @item -d@var{device}
##   The available output format is specified by the option @var{device},
##   and is one of:
##
##   @table @code
##   @item ps
##   @itemx ps2
##   @itemx psc
##   @itemx psc2
##     Postscript (level 1 and 2, mono and color).  The FLTK graphics
##     toolkit generates Postscript level 3.0.
##
##   @item eps
##   @itemx eps2
##   @itemx epsc
##   @itemx epsc2
##     Encapsulated postscript (level 1 and 2, mono and color).  The FLTK
## graphic toolkit generates Postscript level 3.0.
##
##   @item tex
##   @itemx epslatex
##   @itemx epslatexstandalone
##   @itemx pstex
##   @itemx pslatex
##   @itemx pdflatex
##     Generate a @LaTeX{} (or @TeX{}) file for labels, and eps/ps/pdf
## for graphics.  The file produced by @code{epslatexstandalone} can be
## processed directly by @LaTeX{}.  The other formats are intended to
## be included in a @LaTeX{} (or @TeX{}) document.  The @code{tex} device
## is the same as the @code{epslatex} device.  The @code{pdflatex} device
## is only available for the FLTK graphics toolkit.
##
##   @item tikz
##     Generate a @LaTeX{} file using PGF/TikZ@.  For the FLTK the result is
##   PGF.
##
##   @item ill
##   @itemx aifm
##     Adobe Illustrator (Obsolete for Gnuplot versions > 4.2)
##
##   @item cdr
##   @itemx @nospell{corel}
##     CorelDraw
##
##   @item dxf
##     AutoCAD
##
##   @item emf
##   @itemx meta
##     Microsoft Enhanced Metafile
##
##   @item fig
##     XFig.  For the Gnuplot graphics toolkit, the additional options
##     @option{-textspecial} or @option{-textnormal} can be used to control
##     whether the special flag should be set for the text in
##     the figure (default is @option{-textnormal}).
##
##   @item hpgl
##     HP plotter language
##
##   @item mf
##     Metafont
##
##   @item png
##     Portable network graphics
##
##   @item jpg
##   @itemx jpeg
##     JPEG image
##
##   @item gif
##     GIF image (only available for the Gnuplot graphics toolkit)
##
##   @item pbm
##     PBMplus
##
##   @item svg
##     Scalable vector graphics
##
##   @item pdf
##     Portable document format
##   @end table
##
##   If the device is omitted, it is inferred from the file extension,
## or if there is no filename it is sent to the printer as postscript.
##
## @item -d@var{ghostscript_device}
##   Additional devices are supported by Ghostscript.
## Some examples are;
##
##   @table @code
##   @item ljet2p
##     HP LaserJet IIP
##
##   @item ljet3
##     HP LaserJet III
##
##   @item deskjet
##     HP DeskJet and DeskJet Plus
##
##   @item cdj550
##     HP DeskJet 550C
##
##   @item paintjet
##     HP PointJet
##
##   @item pcx24b
##     24-bit color PCX file format
##
##   @item ppm
##     Portable Pixel Map file format
##
##   @item pdfwrite
##     Produces pdf output from eps
##   @end table
##
##   For a complete list, type `system ("gs -h")' to see what formats
## and devices are available.
##
##   When Ghostscript output is sent to a printer the size is determined
## by the figure's "papersize" property.  When the output
## is sent to a file the size is determined by the plot box defined by
## the figure's "paperposition" property.
##
## @itemx -append
##   Appends the PS, or PDF output to a pre-existing file of the
## same type.
##
## @itemx -r@var{NUM}
##   Resolution of bitmaps in pixels per inch.  For both metafiles and
## SVG the default is the screen resolution, for other it is 150 dpi.
## To specify screen resolution, use "-r0".
##
## @item -tight
##   Forces a tight bounding box for eps-files.
##
## @item -@var{preview}
##   Adds a preview to eps-files.  Supported formats are;
##
##   @table @code
##   @item -interchange
##     Provides an interchange preview.
##
##   @item -metalfile
##     Provides a metafile preview.
##
##   @item -pict
##     Provides pict preview.
##
##   @item -tiff
##     Provides a tiff preview.
##   @end table
##
## @item -S@var{xsize},@var{ysize}
##   Plot size in pixels for EMF, GIF, JPEG, PBM, PNG and SVG@.  For
## PS, EPS, PDF, and other vector formats the plot size is in points.
## This option is equivalent to changing the size of the plot box
## associated with "paperposition" property.  Using the command form of
## the print function, you must quote the @var{xsize},@var{ysize}
## option.  For example, by writing @w{@code{"-S640,480"}}.
##
## @item -F@var{fontname}
## @itemx -F@var{fontname}:@var{size}
## @itemx -F:@var{size}
##   Associates all text with the @var{fontname} and/or @var{fontsize}.
## @var{fontname} is ignored for some devices; dxf, fig, hpgl, etc.
## @end table
##
## The filename and options can be given in any order.
##
## Example: Print to a file, using the svg device.
##
## @example
## @group
## figure (1);
## clf ();
## surf (peaks);
## print -dsvg figure1.svg
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Example: Print to an HP Deskjet 550C.
##
## @example
## @group
## figure (1);
## clf ();
## surf (peaks);
## print -dcdj550
