How to save plots as colorful .eps in octave

I am using win7 and octave 3.6.4, when i generate a plot with octave and save as .eps its colors go away. For example :

clf();
surf(peaks);

generates following graphic enter image description here

But when i run the following codes seperately

saveas (1,"test.eps")  or print (1,"test.eps") or print -deps test.eps

to save the graphic as .eps and import it into latex it becomes grayscale. enter image description here

Solution

  • Try 

    print -depsc test.eps

    or 

    print -color -depsc test.eps

    if the first one doesn't work.

    EDIT:

    Which graphics toolkit are you using? with gnuplot, it works just fine for me (Octave 3.6.2, Win XP) using the -eps flag.
