287 In addition to the basic plotting commands, the whole range of

293 Note that in Octave 2.0, the @code{set} and @code{show} commands were
294 renamed to @code{gset} and @code{gshow} in order to allow for
295 compatibility with the @sc{Matlab} graphics and GUI commands in a future
296 version of Octave. (For now, the old @code{set} and @code{show}
297 commands do work, but they print an annoying warning message to try to
298 get people to switch to using @code{gset} and @code{gshow}.)

302 and @code{gshow} commands, see the documentation for @code{set} and
303 @code{show} in the @code{gnuplot} user's guide (also available on line
304 if you run @code{gnuplot} directly, instead of running it from Octave).
