From help-request at octave dot org Tue Jan 11 18:45:30 2005 Subject: Re: octave-forge, grace, and fink From: Joe Koski To: A Hodel , Octave Help Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 17:47:47 -0700 This doesn't answer your question, but if you have AquaTerm installed, you can save a plotted gnuplot image as either .pdf or .eps via "Save as" in the Aquaterm window. This eliminates the need to write the .eps file via a replot or separate print statement.
