Xlabel does not appear in Figure

[Hakan]

Hello,

I am newbie to Octave. There are some discussion about xlabel, but couldnt find any matching answer. Sorry if I repost same question somewhere in Forum.

I use XP and Octave 3.0.0. When I execute xlabel, ylabel or title (as per below), there is no change happening in Figure 1.0 (java based) window. Why? Where am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and understanding.

x=linspace(-pi,pi,100);
y=sin(x);
plot(x,y);
xlabel('x value');
ylabel('sinx value');



Regards
Hakan

Similarly, the example from the docs, 15.1.3, was copied to an m file, and all text failed.  An upgrade to the 3.0.3 binary for XP, jhands, followed with same results.  Tried set & properties as have done in other application, with no joy.

It is quite disappointing when the exact directions sample bombs.
