Re: Saving Octave Plots

[Paul Laub]

Carlos, 

Octave uses gnuplot to plot, and gnuplot 4.0 allows one to save plots
to disk in postscript, png, and a variety of other formats. The
relevant gnuplot command  is "set terminal". (Type "help set terminal"
in the gnuplot console for more information.)

>From octave, you might write a script that dispatches the set terminal
command to gnuplot along with filename and other required information.
You could use Octave's graw() command to do that. For example,

graw(sprintf("set terminal postscript %s\n;", psoptions));
graw(sprintf("set output \"%s\";\n", filename));
