Even running a batch job from a terminal it is still usually desirable for the plot function to work correctly. For example, the following should create a file "sin.ps" whether or not it is executed from a graphics-capable terminal: echo "t=[0:0.1:10]'; x=sin(t); plot(t,x); print -depsc2 \"sin.ps\""\ | octave -- Geraint Bevan http://www.mech.gla.ac.uk/~gbevan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
