Thanks for your tutorial. I have a couple of comments.
On page 4 you say:
"The routines of the package Draw are admittedly slightly more
complicated concerning their usage, but they are more flexible than the
standard routines and offer much more possibilities to adapt the
graphics with the aid of options to particular requirements. Furthermore
it is possible, to set output format (eps, png, jpg, etc.) and output
target (i. e. the filename) in the gnuplot console after the graphic has
been produced, which is appearently not possible when using the standard
routines of the Gnuplot interface Plot".
using plot2d or plot3d you can give those options in the command:
plot2d(x^2, [x,-2,2], [gnuplot_term,gif], [gnuplot_out_file,
"funcao1.gif"])
plot2d(x^2, [x,-2,2], [gnuplot_term,jpg], [gnuplot_out_file,
"funcao1.jpg"]);
plot2d(x^2, [x,-2,2], [gnuplot_term,postscript], [gnuplot_out_file,
"funcao1.eps"]);
or any other terminal supported by Gnuplot.
Also, your documentation of plot3d is for an old version.
