Re: multiplot with gnuplot

[Al Niessner]

The problem seems to be in the subplot.m file. Below is a diff that is
the fix for problem:

The diff is based on 2.1.44. As you can see, subplot was hard coded to
alwasys assume a scale of 1,1 as defined by gnuplot. I have modified
subplot using a global variable because it is too difficult to get the
size back from gnuplot other than in human readable form. I hope that
this patch makes it inot the next release of octave.
