Change of gset/gplot in octave 3.0

[Peter Breun]

Hi Przemek,

thanks for your reply. I think I solved the problem now by figuring  
out the new commands and corresponding syntax.
Nevertheless, I am quite interested in what you are saying about my  
solution because octave tells that the __gnuplot* commands may be lost  
in future versions.

Thanks again!


the old octave commands using gset and gplot:

gset xrange [0:80]
gset xtics 0,10,80
gset size ratio '0.6'
...
gset format x "%01g"
...
gplot data using 1:2 title 'fx" w p ls 1 #'
hold on
gplot data2 using 1:2 title 'fx2" ls 2 #'

the new octave code:

__gnuplot_set__ xrange [0:80]
__gnuplot_set__ xtics '0,10,80'
__gnuplot_set__ size ratio '0.6'
...
__gnuplot_set__ xtics format '"%01g"'
...
__gnuplot_plot__ data using 1:2 title "fx" w p ls 1, data2 using 1:2  
title "fx2" w l ls 2
