Re: saving plots to files

[Shai Ayal]

OK, I'm not sure why you cannot produce png files, but my guess is that 
the version of gnuplot which comes with your octave does not support png.

You can view the eps file on windows using the shareware gsview (google 
should find it). From what I remember it also allows you to covert to 
other formats

I think you might also benefit from downloading the newer 2.1.73 octave 
version from sourceforge, but I haven't tested it myself.
