Re: printing plots

[John Mark BEAUMONT]

Hi Shai,
        I am using the following version ...
GNU Octave, version 2.1.57 (i686-pc-linux-gnu).

if I type ...

help print

I get the following response ...

help: sorry, `print' is not documented


In previous email exchanges on the subject I have seen references to
__gnuplot_set__

again this is not known to my help system.

There is no information in the online manual on print or __gnuplot_set__

As a novice user it's like everyone else is using a different program!


NB I have tried using ...

gset output 'lp -dqms15'

 because our printers are networked.

This does not work either.



Cheers Mark_B
