Well, one way to get X11 back as your graphics terminal is to issue the command:
export GNUTERM = x11
before starting up octave. I would have sworn there was a way to do this from
within octave, but I can't find it now. Personally, I prefer the looks of the
plots made with Aquaterm. It's true that labels and titles can plot outside the
window (I think this is fixed with the development version of gnuplot or when
using fltk with the development version of Octave. However, usually this is
important only when you want to share your plots with others. In those cases it
is convenient to "export" he plot by saving it to a pdf with:
print <name>.pdf
where <name> is your desired plot file name. The titles, et. al. will show up
in the pdf when you open it in, say, Preview. You can then copy just the plot
itself to the clipboard and paste it into a memo document or whatever.
