Re: query related to gset output

[avraham . rosenberg]

Hi,
I tried your suggestion. On my system (octave-2.1.48 on Debian 3.0 ver 1>
it required a slight modification to make it work.
Sample:
x=[1:8];
y=x .^2 -3.3 *x + 15;
gset terminal x11;
grid; plot(x,y);
a=strcat("\"","stat",num2str(3),".ps","\n"");
         ^^^^^                       ^^^^^^
eval(["gset output ",a]);
gset terminal postscript; replot;

->I got my plot in the file stat3.ps in the working directory

If I am not mistaken, the quotation marks can be omitted in the definition
of a, but then they have to be introduced in the next command:
eval(["gset output", \"a\"]> or something like that.

Cheers, Avraham
