Change of gset/gplot in octave 3.0

[Peter Breun]

Hello everybody,

because of the update of the old computer system at our institute, we  
had a huge jump in the version of the octave installation from an 2.x  
(I don't know the exact version), to 3.0.1.

My problem now is that I have some octave files for the automatic  
generation of plots which make extensive use of the gset and gplot  
commands to generate customized plots with gnuplot.
I  searched now for some hours for a solution, but I was not able the  
find a way to set the gnuplot commands within the octave files such  
that, e.g., the aspect ratio or the axis format can be fully customized.

Is there such a possibility in octave 3.0.1, or do I have to use the  
built-in commands or gnuplot directly?

Thanks for your help. By the way, I currently use octave 3.0.1 with  
gnuplot 4.2.3 under MacOS X.
