I could add to this, I noticed yesterday that the grid function is sparsely
supported at best:

1) repeated issuances of
octave:1>grid
octave:2>grid
octave:3>grid
ought to alternately flip the plot grid on and off, but doesn't

2) these didn't work for me either (GNU Octave, version 2.1.31
i586-pc-cygwin/G N U P L O T MS-Windows 32 bit version 3.7):
octave:1>grid on
octave:2>grid off

While I'm worrying about GNUPlot:
octave:1> figure
warning: empty matrix found in matrix list near line 48, column 49
ans = 1

(with no plots open) generated the following in the GNUPlot terminal window:

Terminal type set to 'windows'
gnuplot> set data style lines
gnuplot> set term x11 1
                  ^
         unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a
list

..which struck me as odd since it seems terminal type was already set from
what I see above..

Subsequent plot commands now fail outright, I have to re-launch Octave and
try again by starting with plot instead of figure.

Cheers,
Julian

: Hi,
:
: I often use diary('filename') to print the results from my script files -
: but diary off/on does not seem to work during the
: execution of the script, which is a bit annoying (and different from how
: MatLab works).
:
: An example:
:
: --------------------code starts here---------------------------
: diary('diaryTst.out');
: disp('Hello');
:
: diary off;
: for i = 1:100;
:   disp(i);
: end;
: diary on;
:
: disp('world');
: diary off;
: --------------------code ends here---------------------------
:
:
: In MatLab this surpresses the printing during the loop; on Octave it
: doesn't.
:
:
: Sincerely,
:
:
: Paul Soderlind
