I'm trying to get my Octave to write it's figure output to Postscript
files (or any other output i can embed in a LaTeX document), but it
doesn't work. This is an example of what I'm trying to do:
I start up Octave, and this gives me a nice, clean sinus-plot in an X1
window:
octave:2> t=[0:0.01:2*pi];
octave:3> plot(t, sin(t))
Now I would like to have this plot in an output file sinus.ps,
therefore I follow the instructions that I came across while googling:
octave:5> set term postscript
-> Now a bunch of output scrolls up my screen, i guess it's the
Postscript language...?
Next thing I do is define my output file:
octave:6> set output "sinus.ps"
-> Again a bunch of Postscript commands scrolls up my screen...
And last but not least, i try to plot:
octave:7> plot(t, sin(t))
I'm expecting a postscript file in my current working directory, but
no... nothing there:
octave:9> ls *.ps
ls: *.ps: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong here?
The Octave version I'm using is GNU Octave, version 2.1.52
(i386-pc-linux-gnu) on a Debian unstable box.
Regards,
Bart
