Re: mouse on MacOSX/X11

[Henry F. Mollet]

I've created the .files as suggested and can confirm that it does not work
in Octave. I had to open standalone gnuplot to be able to see the three
curser actions described. I assume that the third one is called zoom.

GNU Octave, version 2.1.71 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0).

octave:1> x=linspace(0,2*pi,100);
octave:2> plot (x,sin(x))
% curser behaved as in AquaTerm i.e. no special "action".
octave:3> quit

Terminal type set to 'X11' % showing that now X11 was default
gnuplot> plot sin(x)
% Now I had special curser "action" as described.
