Hi,

I've recently found this talk about the tikz backend Søren programmed. Because I think this is a very elegant way to produce plots out of octave, I wanted to ask if there is any progress in this direction? I've attached the latest source of the code I found.

Nico Schloemer has written an implementation that supports most plots (I think there are still some 3D features missing).

Last year he modified the sources to be compatible with Octave.

As an alternative, my printpgf package allows printing with pgfplots, itself based on tikz. It's different from matlab2tikz in the sense that it doesn't try to replicate octave's figure exactly, but provides an interface to many of pgfplot's features to create publication-quality pictures.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Miguel for your script,

nevertheless, for me it's not entire clear which Octave plot commands are supported? And is there not also a possibility to automate the process, instead of filling the whole struct every time you need a plot?
