@walkingthrough: "Hello -
This is the odder things I've ever seen and I can't believe a quick 
search through archives didn't turn it up.  Of course it appeared when I 
needed to email a graphic...
If a 2D or 3D graph is shown in a graphics pane then everything is fine. 
  Left is left, right is right, top is top, and bottom is bottom.
Print the graph.. and it's mirrored left-to-right.  Doesn't matter how 
the graph is generated or if its a 2D or 3D display.  It's flipped 
left-right.  It's also chopped slightly on the left.
The display card is an old Radeon 7500 with the last set of drivers 
produced by ATI.  Java 6 Update 17.  The computer: Pentium 4 running 
Windows XP SP3.  SciLab 5.1.1 compiled April 4, 2009 .
I would have opened a millerkristen@example.com but I can't be the only one 
that's seen this.  Anyone know of a fix or a workaround?
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays."

I did.  And did some other checks as well.
All other printing programs (Word, Firefox, Internet Explorer, long 
list) print right-side up and correct left-to-right.
After digging for a bit, I see others have had this problem albeit with 
an earlier version of Scilab (ref: 
<url> but I'm already running 
at 32-bit color on the display.  Changing to 16-bit color still produces 
an image that is flipped left-right.  (Why changing the color depth 
should affect the left-right of an image is mystifying).
This is awkward to use.  Anyone else know of a fix?  (I could open a bug 
  complaint on the SciLab bugzilla... but if this has already been 
solved then why bother the maintainers?
If there is a missing Java for proper print direction then, please, 
would someone post a comment?  Sure doesn't seem to be a problem with 
print orientation.
Your time IS appreciated.  Happy Holidays"

[Pardon.. where is the trim point? ]
SciLab-branches-5.2-1260812541 was downloaded, installed, and an attempt 
made to print the graph from the graphics pane.
The print is *still* flipped left-right.
Next was to copy the image to the clipboard then paste into Microsoft 
Paint.  A print from Paint came up correctly.  Well, that worked under 
5.1.1, too.
It seems few are seeing this problem.  What is the dependency?  Is there 
a graphics option that must be set to get left-right to operate properly?"

Caught the release announcement of 5.2.0 and downloaded that.  Then 
tried plotting/printing again.
usecanvas(%T) seems to have solved the problem.. my graphic comes out 
left-is-left, right-is-right.
Now, if automatic scale-to-page-size was available...
Thanks."
