I am transferring the discussion to maintainers list. It seems out of place on the bug list. Please adjust CC accordingly. Quentin Spencer wrote:

The higher-level plotting functions now issue explicit replot commands. The lower level ones never do. So we should get the desired mostly-Matlab-compatible behavior. If people are using the lower-level plotting commands, then they should know what to do, because gnuplot also requires explicit replot commands. Comments?I guess it would take some getting used to, but I personally prefer not to have automatic replots at all. The data I am dealing with often very large and plots take few seconds. So if I forgot to set axes labels and title before plotting the data, I would have to endure multiple replots...Good point. I haven't tried plots with large amounts of data in octave for a while, but I remember it being slow. It seemed to me at the time that a big cause of slowness was transfering data by ascii files to gnuplot. Is anyone familiar enough with gnuplot development to know whether there is interest in supporting other ways of transferring data?
Development version of gnuplot (4.1) has binary data support for 2d plotting... But anyway it looks like a long shot to me. Dmitri. --
