Yes. You type that in the octave terminal.

        export GNUTERM=x11

The marker types for Gnuplot are not consistent across the different
terminals. Meaning that x11, aqua, pdf, postscript, etc will each give
different results. Currently, Octave tries to make the marker type
consistent with postscript output..

p.s. a couple points of mail-list etiquette.

(1) Please no not delete the thread when replying.
(2) Reply at the bottom.

These rules of etiquette are used to ensure that those arriving late can
follow along and so that others with similar problems can search through the
email archives to find solutions to their problems.

Thanks



Thanks for the advice on the terminal Ben.

As far as I know I'm not deleting the thread on purpose, I just press reply
when on the website and type my reply. But I have copied the rest in now (I
think). I think this is how it's meant to be done, if not just let me know
:)

Thanks,
Martin
