All or most of the information about plotting in Octave can be found in the manual and on the internet. This information can be too scattered over different resources for a new user to find his/her way into solving a plotting problem/need. This tutorial should be considered as the 'recipe text' by examples if you consider the manual as a 'recipe ingredients only'. | All or most of the information about plotting in Octave can be found in the manual and on the internet.

In Octave the first choice to make is the {{Codeline|graphics_toolkit()}}. Standard is the 'gnuplot' toolkit using the [http://www.gnuplot.info Gnuplot] software package . The second choice is 'fltk' [http://www.fltk.org fltk]. You might want to try to test both of them for your plotting aims to see which solves your problem. | ||
