Re: gset label "hi" at 1992, pos

[Paul Kienzle]

It is easier to just send the value of the variable on the gset
line than it is to send the variable.  E.g.,

        eval(sprintf('gset label "Avg" at 1992, %f', avg))

Or you could try text.m from octave-forge (http://octave.sf.net)
which does this for you.
