Title: Save a plot to a file Author: Sandro Tosi Last modified: 2005-04-26 You've just finished drawing a beautiful graph and you want to include it into your paper or web page, but how? Octave, as far as I know, use Gnuplot to draw its graphics; now, if you want to plot to a file you have to educate Gnuplot to do so. The commands is the following (suppose your graph is already on the screen, i.e. you've already used `plot' function): octave:1> gset term png; to set the output to a png file octave:2> gset output "<filename>"; to set the output file octave:3> replot to finally write the already drawn graph to <filename>. Now, every graph you're going to plot, will be redirected to <filename>; if you want back the plot window, type: octave:4> gset term x11; and the nice window will again pop up. Note: I recommend you to download octave-forge (Debian package name) from http://octave.sourceforge.net/ which includes a big number of interesting and useful tool, some enhancing octave plot ability. Some more infos can be retrieved on these websites: http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/help-octave.2004/msg01374.html http://math.cochise.edu/Doc/octave/basic_octave.html
