Re: multiplot gnu under octave?

[John Utz]

Hi;

        thanks again for the subplot command. I seem to be having two 
difficulties. The most important one is that i cant seem to use it to get 
two plots on one gnuplot_x11 screen. i can get one half size plot in the 
desired position, or i can get the other half size plot in the desired 
position, but not both half size plots at the same time. Can you tell me 
explicitly what commands i should type to achive this desired goal? I 
thought i was doing it just like the help comments suggested. Could it be 
that there is a gnuplot variable i need to set to tell gnuplot not to 
clear the previous drawing when a new plot is invoked?

this syntax seems to unsupported in this file? at least i can't seem to 
get it to work this way. i have to use the second one ( subplot ( 211 ))
