Re: PGPLOT with Octave?--comments on improved graphics

[SANDS]

I have been using octave with 
the ames patch to gnuplot for
a while now. I'm not particularly
pleased with the gnuplot graphics.

However, the single redeeming quality
that I have identified is the ability
to produce fig files from gnuplot. 

This is particularly handy since I 
can greate a graphic, export it in
fig format and use xfig to doctor 
it up before exporting it for 
inclusion in a document (via latex 
for example).

I would encourage the use of 'fig'
compatible graphics packages with
any changes to octave's graphical
ability.

THank you
