Myriam,

you can use the "title" keyword to set the legend with the "gplot" command:

octave:1> x = linspace(0,10,101) ' ;
octave:2> plot1 = [ x , sin ( x ) ] ;
octave:3> plot2 = [ x , cos ( x ) ] ;
octave:4> gplot plot1 title "Sine" , plot2 title "Cosine"

You can find more information about gplot with "help -i gplot".

Geraint.
