Re: tikz terminal

[Dingwen Yuan]

Hi Ben,

On my computer, after I keyed in the last line, I got lots of outputs such as
"
gnuplot> @
         ^
         line 0: invalid character @
". And I got an empty plot.tikz and a nonempty gnuplot.gp.
BTW, my octave version is 3.2.2 and my gnuplot version is 4.2 patch 6
and I have installed the lua terminal into the gnuplot. The lua
version is 5.1.4.

Thanks,

Dingwen
