Re: zoom

Francesco: the "right-click twice" doesn't work in my case, I don't know why. 
Rob: OK, thanks,  but I was looking for a mouse-interactive zoom

The answer I get from Octave to the command "help zoom" is:

zoom ...
 Compatibility function; does nothing
/usr/share/octave/packages/plot-1.0.5/zoom.m

I did not know of such a function.  What you can do in the Gnuplot
window is to right-click twice on the plot window: the two points where
you click define a rectangular window which is then zoomed.  You revert
to the 1:1 zoom by clicking the 'a' key.

You can also use
       axis()
or
       set(gca,"xlim",[low high]) and set(gca,"ylim",[low high])
from the Octave prompt.
