I know that I'm not the smartest member of the list, and maybe I'm the
only one who finds this confusing. Honestly I haven't read all the
documentation, and surely that's my problem.
When you type "help print" in Octave or read the available
documentation of print
(http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Printing-Plots.html#Printing-Plots),
you get:
— Function File: print (filename, options)
Print a graph, or save it to a file
filename defines the file name of the output file. If no filename is
specified, output is sent to the printer.
options:
-Pprinter
Set the printer name to which the graph is sent if no filename is specified.
-color
etc.
I though that the correct syntax was something like this:
print (test.fig, -dfig -color)
I believed that print was a sort of function. Obviously it didn't work.
Maybe it would be better to use the man approach to this, like in this
example (man ls):
NAME
ls - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
I think that this is clearer for newbies.
