However, the saved figure looks the same as the unrotated figure (original
perspective).  Anybody know how I would save the figure using the figure
command with the perspective that I want without using printscreen?

I am not sure what is the problem. I never have complications using
the command view to set the perspective
plot(...
view (...
print (...

Right, but how do you get the correct parameters to view() after having manipulated the plot by hand into a pleasing perspective?

You can use the view command with no arguments to get the current azimuth and elevation parameters.

[azimuth, elevation] = view();

Then you set those parameters through octave by sending them back through view:

view([azimuth, elevation]);

Then I believe it will print correctly.  I think the problem is that because (as far as I know) octave and the plotting problem (gnuplot probably?) are only loosely coupled.  It seems that the view variables are not updated in octave when modified using a mouse.  Thats my best shot at a solution/diagnosis.

Hope this helps,
