From help-request at octave dot org Mon Jan 16 22:47:57 2006 Subject: eps Toolkit - ftell that returns a scalar? was Re: subplot From: To: Cc: , Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 12:44:29 +0800 Hello, I am doing something similar, so I tried the eps Toolkit. But I find that there is a problem when I try to run most of the demos. Calls to edsymbol.m fail at line 72, where it says: nBuffer = fix(epsFileLength/bufferSize) epsFileLength was earlier defined by: epsFileLength = ftell(epsfile) The problem is that ftell does not return a scalar, but a "streamoff" type (Octave version 2.1.53), which the "/" operator does not understand. I'm now in search of a replacement ftell function that returns a scalar, as I don't think there is a way to typecast streamoff to scalar (?)... Neil -----Original Message----- From: Dmitri A.

As a result octave had to use different program to display them. So, no, currently you cannot combine images and plots in octave easily. You may want to look at http://www.epstk.de/ for similar capabilities.
