figure

[Joerg Schreiber]

Hi

I am just trying to change from matlab to octave.

I just tried:

octave:15> figure (2)
error: figure: gnuplot doesn't appear to support this feature
error: evaluating index expression near line 38, column 7
error: evaluating if command near line 30, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 29, column 3
error: called from igure' in file /usr/share/octave/2.0.13/m/plot/figure.
octave:15> help figure
figure is the function defined from: /usr/share/octave/2.0.13/m/plot/figure.

 usage: figure (n)

 Set the current plot window to plot window N.  This function
 currently requires X11 and a recent version of gnuplot.
                        
:~/mat > gnuplot

Terminal type set to 'x11'
gnuplot>       


What's going wrong? Can this be a problem of x11 / X11 ?
