From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Mon Jan 5 13:53:09 2004 Subject: plotting to Postscript doesn't work? From: Bart Vandewoestyne To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2004 20:51:13 +0100 I'm trying to get my Octave to write it's figure output to Postscript files (or any other output i can embed in a LaTeX document), but it doesn't work. This is an example of what I'm trying to do: I start up Octave, and this gives me a nice, clean sinus-plot in an X1 window: octave:2> t=[0:0.01:2*pi]; octave:3> plot(t, sin(t)) Now I would like to have this plot in an output file sinus.ps, therefore I follow the instructions that I came across while googling: octave:5> set term postscript -> Now a bunch of output scrolls up my screen, i guess it's the Postscript language...? Next thing I do is define my output file: octave:6> set output "sinus.ps" -> Again a bunch of Postscript commands scrolls up my screen... And last but not least, i try to plot: octave:7> plot(t, sin(t)) I'm expecting a postscript file in my current working directory, but no... nothing there: octave:9> ls *.ps ls: *.ps: No such file or directory What am I doing wrong here? The Octave version I'm using is GNU Octave, version 2.1.52 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) on a Debian unstable box.
