From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Thu May 30 13:22:43 2002 Subject: tk_octave xauth and examples From: jfl To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 11:13:38 -0700 (PDT) Below is a copy of the error message. The third.m file is a variation of the tk_octave Tk_me simple start/stop counter example. It works fine when logged onto the machine cuba. It doesn't work when I rlogin or SSH2 into cuba. Note that the command sombrero(100) does work fine whether on console or remote so the problem seems to be in tk_octave. Probably a config problem but other than setting DISPLAY and xhost +, I don't know what to do. I searched in the help for tk_octave and X or X11 or xauth and nothing was found. Separate issue, the Tk_me screenshot of the sombrero+menu is nice but the examples and demos I have don't put it all together. Does anybody have a complete example or was that left as an exercise to the student?
