Re: "gset output 'filename'" question

[Ben Sapp]

Something similar to this will work: 

octave:1> sombrero(50)
octave:2> filename = "foo.ps"
filename = foo.ps
octave:3> gset terminal postscript enhanced color
octave:4> eval(sprintf("gset output \"%s\"",filename))
octave:5> replot

Now, you can view foo.ps with a postscript viewer.
