Tom CantyI keep the lines export GNUTERM=aqua export DISPLAY=:0.0In my .bash_profile and .bashrc files in my home directory (OS X 10.3.9 with bash shell), and that seems to tell gnuplot where to find aquaterm. If youdon't have those files yet, you can create them with a text editor.Alternatively, you can gset aqua in octave each time you want a plot. Youdon't need X11 running to work with aquaterm.
Following your example, above, I put in those two lines in my .profile file and gnuplot used Aquaterm to plot. Very neat. That was the first time I had ever used Aquaterm.
Two questions (not Octave related per se). 1. Using an X11 window, I can rotate a (3d) plot by using the mouse and the Ctrl key, but I couldn't do that with Aquaterm as it was. How? 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Aquaterm vs. X11?
