[OctDev] Octave/Gnuplot: set terminal windows

[Greg <ewa...@gm...>]

Hello again for my second question of the day:

I'm trying to use Gnuplot with Octave. After quite a big number of tries, I
found this funny thing:

The command "peaks" typed in Octave compiled with Microsoft Visual uses the
'wxt' terminal, wheras the Octave compiled with MinGW uses the 'windows'
terminal.

The situation is the following: I need to use the Microsoft Visual package,
but I want the 'windows' terminal of Gnuplot.

I have created a GNUPLOT.INI in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming with the
single line "set terminal windows". It works because after that, running
directly Gnuplot and typing "plot sin(x)" uses the 'windows' terminal.

And the problem is that the "peaks" command still runs Gnuplot with the
'wxt' terminal. It seems that Gnuplot ignores this config file when called
by Octave.

How to change this behaviour and use the 'windows' terminal when plotting
from Octave?


Thanks!


Greg
