Re: print function

[Peter Gawthrop]

Hi Thomas,

        I use the following Octave function:

function psfig(filename)
  ## Usage: psfig(filename)
  ## Puts figure into ps file


  ## Add .ps if not there already
  if !index(filename,".")       # Is there a .
    filename = sprintf("%s.ps",filename);
  endif
  
  eval(sprintf("gset output ŠÜ"%sŠÜ" ",filename));
  gset linestyle 1 lw 2         # Thicker lines
  gset linestyle 2 lw 2         # Thicker lines
  gset linestyle 3 lw 2         # Thicker lines
  gset linestyle 4 lw 2         # Thicker lines
  gset linestyle 5 lw 2         # Thicker lines


  gset term postscript eps  monochrome dashed  
  replot;
  gset term x11
  gset output 
  replot;

endfunction

Put 
psfig("myplot"); 
after a call to plot to generate myplot.ps.

        Hope this helps,

        P.
