RE: printeps error question

[Hall, Benjamin]

You must include the filename in "quotes", e.g.

printeps("sin")

Subject: printeps error question


Hi.  I have a printing script provided by AS Hodel that used to work 
fabulously for me, but now, after not having used it in a while, gives 
an error.

The script is:

function printeps(filename)
% function printeps(filename)
% replot screen plot to a file
% inputs:
%   filename: string:
% no argument checking done - this means YOU mark!

   gset terminal postscript eps color
   eval(sprintf("gset output '%s'", filename));
   replot
   #gset terminal x11
   closeplot
endfunction


but this is what I get:

octave:1> t = -1:0.01:1;
octave:2> plot (t, sin (t))
octave:3> printeps (sin)
error: sin: too few arguments
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
octave:3>

What am I doing wrong?

TIA.
---John.
