How do I save my plots as .pdf files in Octave. I normally save
as .eps. I need the .pdf for use in LaTeX.
Thanks
Asha
It depends on your gnuplot. If your gnuplot has support for pdf
output, you might be able to use the following:
print('myfigure.pdf','-dpdf')
To find out if your gnuplot has pdf support, run gnuplot and type
'set terminal' to see a list of supported terminals (=output formats).
If your gnuplot does not have pdf support save the figure as an eps
and then convert it to pdf outside of gnuplot. If you're on Linux (or
on somethin similar such as Mac OS X) you might already have the
ps2pdf program. Also, LaTeX may be able to convert eps files to pdf
on its own using the epstopdf package ( \usepackage{epstopdf} ). This
is my preferred way of using Octave plots in LaTeX.
