print question

[Daniel Oberhoff]

Hi all,

I am running a self compiled octave 2.9.12 together with an equally  
self compiled gnuplot 4.3. I make a plot of a small gaussian image  
patch like this:

[x,y]=meshgrid(-2:2,-2:2);
g=exp(-(x.*x+y.*y)/8);
pcolor(g);

and then print it like this:

print -dpdf gausmask_octave.pdf

curiously the print receives some interpolation, fuzzing up the  
originally blocky image, which is not what I want, because this is  
for a paper and I want to show what I actually use. Is there a way to  
switch this smoothing off?

btw, is it a known bug in octave 2.9.12/gnuplot 4.3 that the hold  
setting is always on, i.e. I always have to clf before a new plot and  
hold on/off has no measurable effect?

anyhow, love the image capability brought out in gnuplot now.

Best

Daniel
