Tried eps, ps etc but it seems that the current Fedora version of  
LibreOffice can't handle those either!
Just tried using the fltk graphics toolkit. That exports an svg which  
LibreOffice imports, but legend text missing and x axis
tic values are written over the x axis making them illegible. Also the  
grid lines are a rather dreadful looking set of dashed lines, even though  
I used "-solid"...maybe that switch is for some other lines, not sure.
It isn't looking good here for simple method of getting decent figures  
from Octave in a LibreOffice document.
I will keep looking/experimenting, and hope someone has some good advice.
