The following works fine in gnuplot:set terminal pdfcairo set output "plot.pdf" plot [0:1] xand it gives a very nice pdf. The pdf page size fits perfectly around the plot.I am just curious: which version of gnuplot are you using? I have 4.2.3-1here which does not provide the pdfcairo terminal.
Hm, I forgot that I installed a gnuplot CVS version...., so maybe that's why I have pdfcairo support and you don't. But now I remember, I did it to get PDF support and also the for-loop support in the plot command, which is quite cool.
I needed the for-loop support because the number of functions to plot would be determined by gnuplot at run-time.
Since gnuplot in Debian doesn't even offer the pdfcairo terminal yet, I will send a bug-report to Octave upstream.
