Which graphics toolkit are you using?

You can find out by typing "graphics_toolkit"

In any event, if you change the toolkit, the result may improve. Your choices 
are ....

        close all
        graphics_toolkit fltk
        plot (...)

or

        close all
        graphics_toolkit gnuplot
        plot (...)
