I had difficulties using 'plot'. I.e. I needed a variable number 'X, Y, FORMAT' 
triplets, and I was generating a string representing the 'plot'
command to be ultimately executed, then I used 'eval' to execute the
command.

The triplets were generated in a loop and the string was filled in teh same 
loop.

So, which is a better way and is it described in the documentation ?
I am still using octave-3.0.5 and reading 'help plot' I didn't find a way
without 'eval'.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
