Re: saving plots to files

[Shai Ayal]

Hi

For someone to try to help you in a more intelligent way, Please add at 
least the following info:
1) OS, octave version, how you got it (compile from source, binary ?)
2) a short snippet of code showing what exactly didn't work e.g  does 
this help:

plot(1:10);
print -dpng file.png
