As in Matlab, you can always do "help function_name".  If you get 
"not-documented", then that function is not installed.  Many extra 
functions are available in octave-forge, and there other octave add-ons 
as well, especially for plotting.  To browse what is in octave and 
octave-forge, look here:

Unfortunately, plotting is the least mature part of Octave and least 
compatible with Matlab.  Fortunately, there has been quite a bit of 
activity lately to improve plotting.
