After further reading, the problem may come from the way the gnuplot pslatex
driver handles the layers of background texts/ vector graphics/ and foreground
texts (cf. a "closed-won't fix" bug in gnuplot dating back to 2016. https://
sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1820/?page=0).
Here is another patch where ~/maxoutXXX.gnuplot contains the three lines
"set obj 1 rectangle behind from screen 0.0,0.0 to screen 1.0,1.0"
"set obj 1 fc rgb '#ffffff' fs solid 1.0 noborder "
and
"set tics front"
In that case, the axis annotations are drawn twice (behind and in front of the
rectangle), but without the need of testing terminal $epslatex_standalone any
more.
Best regards.
