Hello, I have a question regarding symbols in plotting. I wonder about the very basic one, which is circle 'o'. When I use this for plotting [plot(x,y,'o')], instead of having circle, I get triangle shape with a dot in the middle! What should I do to solve this tiny/strange problem? Thanks in advance, Sue |

Linux? Windows? OSX? What version of octave are you using (at the octave prompt type version)? What version of gnuplot are you using (type "gnuplot --version" at a command line)? Dan |

You might have to upgrade to something more recent, like octave 3.5.5 or greater. (The latest stable Octave is 3.6.2.) Along with that, an upgrade in gnuplot would be good too. (The latest stable version is 4.6.) That, or randomly try other symbols and see if you can find the circle.
