RE: Creating "Pretty" Report from Octave

[Ian Journeaux]

I don't have any figures so this would just be a text report. I know
absolutely nothing about LaTeX so I would have to figure that out. I wonder
if there would be any samples that someone could point me to.

The report I am trying to create would be one or two pages long. I would
like to get a header (Title, sample ID, etc) and footer (page number, date,
etc). The body of the report would be several columns of numbers with column
headers.

I would let Octave create one .eps file for each of the figures (using
the print function) and a .tex file (using fprintf) with the necessary
text and controls.  Then using the system function to call a latex
compiler.
