Re: print question

[Daniel Oberhoff]

Hi John,

octave:7> which print
print is the user-defined function from the file
/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.12/m/plot/print.m

Might it be from octave forge? But that is improbable, since I  
installed any OF packages as user, so they are under ~/octave. I am  
also curious because I cannot find any pdf support inside that file,  
but it generally works :). Anyhow, I hacked the file to do svg  
(simply by telling gnuplot do use terminal svg), and that works  
better with inkscape anyhow.

Hmm, also in ur command u said "-pdf" not "-dpdf"...


Best

Daniel
