To see if there are any more octave-3.8.0 issues beyond this one, I suggest you temporarily add #define OCTAVE_API_VERSION_NUMBER 49 to the generated bindings/octave/plplot_octaveOCTAVE_wrap.cxx file and see how far you get with # Test of the bindings and examples for all our supported languages # including Octave. (This only tests our low-level Octave bindings.) make test_noninteractive If that works and gives no PostScript differences between the octave and C results, then as an experiment you might also want to try # Experimental test of our high-level, interactive octave API (for xwin device) make test_octave_xwin The first of those tests works well on my octave-3.6.2 platform and Andrew's octave-3.6.4 platforms. The second of those tests works reasonably well on my platform (i.e., some minor rendering issues but no obvious run-time issues) with some very pretty interactive effects such as the plot where you can view a 3D plot from all altitudes/azimuths using mouse drag and drop. However, previous experience found some severe run-time issues with this target on other Linux platforms than mine (I think Andrew found those). It was not clear whether the issues were due to Octave bugs or something wrong with our high-level Octave bindings. But I suggest the test above just in case the first explanation is the correct one, and those bugs have now been fixed in all modern Octave versions. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
