Re: Special|backslash (\) characters are not interpreted when printing to PDF

[tomdylan]

I just found out how to set the grafics_toolkit to gnuplot:
>> graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot")
>> graphics_toolkit()
ans = gnuplot

then I restarted my programme and I received after the mentioned warnings:

warning: print.m: epstool binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
warning: print.m: fig2dev binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.

now a couple of error messages:
error: popen2: popen2 (child): unable to start process -- Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (=file or directory not found)
error: called from:
error:  
/usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/plot/util/private/__gnuplot_open_stream__.m at
line 30, column 40
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/plot/util/__gnuplot_drawnow__.m at line
72, column 19
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.8.1/m/plot/util/print.m at line 309, column 5

I found __gnuplot_open_stream__.m on board, a "subroutine"? (sorry I am kind
of a fossil, I learned programming Fortran77 on 80 characters punching
cards...) however when I saw the author, my day brightened up ;-)

Ben, you might tell me/us, what is wrong with popen2. 

Am I on the "right track", trying to print PDF in the gnuplot
graphics_toolkit?

A numerical poem:
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren’t right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step into the light, he says hmm you’re right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61
("Highway 61" by Robert Zimmerman 1964)
