Thanks for fixing this. As a result, -dev xwin is now our best interactive octave device so I have expanded the number of p examples accordingly (revision 10941). p11, p14, p19, and p20 still have some showstopper issues with -dev xwin so had to be dropped from the list until those issues are fixed. Also, p21 produces a blank black page which is also probably an error (although not a showstopper). You have only mentioned -dev tk in passing so I thought I had better mention that your fix to the script still leaves -dev tk crashing immediately for p1 for me. Here is the resulting error messages. softw...@raven> make test_octave_tk [...] Generate interactive octave results for tk interactive device Testing interactive octave examples for device tk /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/build_dir/examples/.. p1 error: fp' undefined near line 213 column 11 error: evaluating argument list element number 1 error: evaluating if command near line 207, column 2 error: evaluating if command near line 186, column 7 error: evaluating if command near line 92, column 5 error: evaluating if command near line 86, column 3 error: called from figure' in file /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/examples/../bindings/octave/PLplot/figure.m' error: evaluating for command near line 6, column 1 make[3]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_octave_tk] Error 1 make[2]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_octave_tk.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [examples/CMakeFiles/test_octave_tk.dir/rule] Error 2 make: *** [test_octave_tk] Error 2 > I think a lot of the other issues are to do with the interactive aspects. > Only the xwin and tk drivers support xor mode which is required.

Agreed. xor capability would be nice for -dev wincairo as well. Once these three devices had xor capability, then you could also use the -xor example 1 option for them. BTW, I haven't looked at the example to see why, but -xor for example 1 doesn't seem to erase anything for -dev xwin. Instead, a circular cursor is moved slowly over the second sub-page, but leaves the plot looking identical. Could that example 1 option be made into a more convincing demonstration of xor capability?
