octave+gnuplot on pc-linux console

[Paul Ortyl]

Hi,

I need to run octave on linux console (an old notebook => XWindows is too big
for it) and still want to be able to see plots. 

Unfortunately gnuplot refuses to "set term linux" when called from octave
(probably in "pipe mode").

Is there a possibility to redirect gnuplot commands to file (not only data,
but formatting too) and call
# gnuplot file 
from another console for every plot() command?


Or is there a possibility to force gnuplot to use svgalib terminal anyway.

TIA

        Paul
