Re: Interaction between figure() and hold() in 2.1.50

[Thorsten Meyer]

Hi,

as far as I know, gnuplot can redirect the plot output into different 
windows but gnuplot cannot really handle more than one plot at the same 
time. It can only redirect its output to different windows. The octave 
hold feature is realized using the gnuplot command replot which repeats 
the previous plot and adds a new plot on top.
If this is no longer valid, I would be very much interested in the 
solution to your problem.

regards

Thorsten
