Have you tried to plot using gnuplot directly? If this still acts strange, then it looks like an issue with gnuplot. If it works smoothly in gnuplot, then yes I believe you hit an octave-piping-into-gnuplot issue. benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
