Yes. You type that in the octave terminal. 

From the terminal, and using the bash shell you alternatively type ...

export GNUTERM=x11

The marker types for Gnuplot are not consistent across the different terminals. Meaning that x11, aqua, pdf, postscript, etc will each give different results. Currently, Octave tries to make the marker type consistent with postscript output..

p.s. a couple points of mail-list etiquette.

(1) Please no not delete the thread when replying.

(2) Reply at the bottom.

These rules of etiquette are used to ensure that those arriving late can follow along and so that others with similar problems can search through the email archives to find solutions to their problems.
