I think it makes sense to add that to the multiplot doc string while we are waiting for a fix. I'm not familiar with plotting and printing with Octave. I didn't even know there was a multiplot function. I read the mutliplot doc string. But I still don't know how to use it. >> multiplot(2,1) >> plot(1:10) That plots the first plot. But how do I plot the second plot? Maybe an example should be added to the multiplot doc string as well. Wait. I see there is a subplot function. That should be added to the see also section of multiplot (as should plot etc.). Since Octave has subplot, do users need direct access to multiplot? subplot also needs a see also section. And subplot refers to a 4 by 2 grid, but then draws it as 2 by 4. ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
