Since Octave is plotting data from a temporary file instead of
plotting functions, you need to use the command `set data style lines'
instead of `set function style lines'.
: When the command is entered, octave doesn't display any messages.
Octave doesn't look at the `set' and `show' commands -- they are
passed directly to the gnuplot subprocess, and gnuplot accepts the
command.
I suppose it might be worth it to do some processing on the set and
show commands, but I haven't had the time to do it yet (actually, I'm
trying to avoid having to reimplement *all* of gnuplot front end
inside of Octave...).
Thanks,
