My problem is the following: On my system (Linux Mint 14), the normal octave and gnuplot packages only produce completely black bar diagrams:
I have tried to change the colours in any way I could imagine, but no avail:
bar(xbin, yy, 'barwidth', 1, 'facecolor', 'r', 'edgecolor', 'b');
xlabel('x_i');
ylabel('p_i');
print -deps bars.eps
However, when I plot the graph with the command
graphics_toolkit fltk;
It looks fine - but fltk doesn't either understand umlauts or LaTeX-style formula notation like p_i (necessary for captions and labels).
Maybe I haven't configured something correctly. I just installed octave from the repos and thought it would work.
Anyone can help?
