Graphing[edit]
Octave may be started by typing 'octave' in the shell. It's easiest to perform this in your www directory so the files that you create will be saved there.
liang-xue@codermerlin:~$ cd ~/www
liang-xue@codermerlin:~$ octave
You'll know you're in Octave when you see the Octave prompt.
octave:1>
In order to enable graphics plotting, execute the following command:
octave:1> graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")
We'll begin with a 3-D example to demonstrate the power of Octave and the ease with which complex graphs can be created.
