depends on what you need to do.
If you want to see it on the monitor, i can't help you.
If you need it in files, I have an advise for you:
octave:1> x=0:0.01:2*pi;
octave:2> y=sin(x);
^^ I plot something
octave:3> plot(x,y,'.-b;\$sin(\eta)$;');
^^ I use latex stuff for the greek letters -
gnuplot complains
octave:4> enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
octave:4> print("test.tex", "-depslatexstandalone")
^^ I use the print command, specifiny epslatexstandalone as file type
enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
enhanced text mode parser - ignoring spurious }
This yields those two files:
$ ls test*
test-inc.eps test-inc.pdf test.tex
then:
$ epstopdf test-inc.eps
$ pdflatex test.tex
this yields this pdf: (see attachment)
