Ben
Another additional issue, When I tried to print the plot to png image I get an error message "gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string Speed with font Helvetica". Looking in nabble archive (A problem with fonts and/or printing PNG files March 2008) I tried setting the GDFONTPATH environment variable to the font directory, but it doesnt work. Looking inside the directory I didn't find the Helvetica font, then I changed the fontname to Arial using
ylabel("Speed","fontsize",8,"FontName", "ARIAL.ttf","rotation",90)
and is funny because in the image saved I get the title rotated, but in the gnuplot window the title is not rotated. I think there are a problem with fonts between Octave-gnuplot in the windows version.
Questions
- How can I change the default font from Helvetica to another in octave?
- Some help in how to say to gnuplot the font to use?
Thanks
German

Thank you for your help, I using the Octave 3.0.5 in windows and I tried
using these commands about the decimals and they don't work. Is something
about configuration?
regards
german
