plot colors

[Heber Farnsworth]

This may be a simple question but I can't seem to find the answer in the info 
pages.  When plotting it is sometimes desirable to have a different color 
background for the Gnuplot window than I use for my xterm windows.  However 
this 
is not something that can be set with a gset sort of command.  Instead you must 
invoke Gnuplot in a different way, using the appropriate x11 option.  I.e. when 
invoking Gnuplot from the shell you would type

        gnuplot -bg white
        
or whatever color you wanted the background to be.  How do you do a similar 
thing from within octave?
