Re: how to swith the ploting function?

[frank wang]

Sorry for my naive question. I got my octave through Fedora YUM command. When I plot a function, Fedora will display a window title bar says gplt. I guess it is the short form for gnuplot.

 

Thanks

What is gplt? Where are you downloading it? I don't see anything called
gplt in any of the official Fedora repositories. If gplt is overriding
gnuplot as the default plotting engine, the easiest way I can think of
to switch to gnuplot is to uninstall gplt, since gnuplot should already
be installed (it's a required dependency for the Fedora octave package).
