Just testing this a bit further, I have run Ron's gnuplot script to  
generate an svg, and that svg loads into my LO Writer correctly (using  
"insert > picture > from file" ) but is incorrectly rendered by LO Draw.
I have "gnuplot-4.6.1-6.fc19.x86_64" and "octave-3.6.4-3.fc19.x86_64"
I would have guessed that Octave would use this gnuplot to generate the  
svg file, but clearly the svg generated by Octave is different to that  
generated directly by gnuplot.
Can anyone elaborate on what might be happening here?
