I have been running on windows 7 Octave 3.8.1 MXE build (Sourced from the web site
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows) for some time.
I have just got a new windows 8.1 laptop and have installed Octave 3.8.2 MXE build
I am most grateful for this product.
I noticed that when I plotted (Using gnuplot after running the "graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")" command) the y axis label is horizontal not vertical. Is there a simple workaround for this? Gnuplot does have some advantages for me.
To test this in a simple plot I run the following program
# plot test
x=0:1:100;
y=x.*x;
figure(1)
plot(x,y)
title("example");
ylabel('x squared')
xlabel( 'x');
