Correct, of course. But this bitmap may be good enough for many
purposes. This is just a hack but better than nothing. And it is
truly great to me when I recall the agony I went through when trying
(with unreproducible results) to save multiplots to files. That was
some time ago, so maybe the gnuplot interface now behaves better under
multiplot/gset_terminal/gset_output operations.

I could not agree more. I understand that there is a current (but not
very visible) effort to move to a graphic handle system. No doubt
that a clean graphic infrastructure will clear most of the problems in
this area. In my view, this is, by and far, the weakest point of
octave. I am unfortunately unable to contribute myself to this effort
but I would like to express the warmest encouragements to people
working towards it.
Cheers, JF
