Re: 4.2.4-1 GNUPLOT, 3.0.3 Octave Behaviour

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Are you using the cygwin version octave? Right.

If you would like to use cygwin version gnuplot, you have to install X 
(cygwin-X or Xming).

Cygwin X can be installed by cygwin setup.

Xming

And you have to set GNUTERM variable to x11

putenv('GNUTERM','x11');

in ~/.octaverc"

(Either setenv or putenv can be used.)

You can download gnuplot 4.3 (cvs) by which mouse zooming can be possible in 2D 
plots from

http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/cygbin/

If you do not want to use X, you can use gnuplot 4.3 on windows

http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin/

If you install gnuplot 4.3 on windows in the c:\Program 
Files\gp43-winbin\gnuplot

Please describe 
gnuplot_binary('C:/Progra~1/gp43-winbin/gnuplot/binaries/gnuplot.exe');
putenv('GNUTERM','win');


However I do not recommend to use cygwin under win98 because cygwin performance 
is not good for win9x.
It is better use win2000 at least.

Why do not use octave-MinGW ?

Please see the OctaveForWindows Wiki.
