Thanks!See http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/help-octave.2005/msg00661.html and http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/faq.html#SECTION00076000000000000000
This seems like it would be a good functionality increase generally. Would it be possible to have octave add this to a .gnuplot file perhaps by asking the question on the first startup
Would you like to add mouse functionality in plotting? And turn this feature off by setting a variable like ask_gnuplot_mouse = 0 in .octaverc?I realize that this is a relatively complex fix, and there is probably a more appropriate way to fix this (perhaps just add "gset mouse" to the plot commands?). I mention this because I had issues with it, too, when I started using octave.
