This works in 2.9.10:
figure ('visible', 'off');
x = -pi:0.01:pi;
plot (x, sin(x), 'linewidth', 10);
print -depsc2 foo.ps
Or, if you really love working with gnuplot directly, then just use
Octave to do the computations, write some data files, and run gnuplot
separately, or use __gnuplot_raw__ to send commands and data directly
to gnuplot from Octave (but don't mix with any higher level Matlab
style plot commands at all).
