From help-request at octave dot org Wed Jan 12 18:22:53 2005 Subject: gsplot change between 2.1.57 and 2.1.64? From: "E. Joshua Rigler" To: Help-Octave Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 17:22:43 -0700 I recently noticed that none of the surface plotting routines (surf, surfc, mesh, etc.) work in 2.1.64 if I pass a solitary matrix (Z), as opposed to passing (x,y,Z). I tried an older version (2.1.57), and everything worked fine. I traced things back a bit and the problem seems to lie in or somewhere upstream of gsplot. I compared text files /tmp/oct-*****, and they were identical after running the command "mesh(peaks)" from both Octave versions, but doing so in 2.1.64 results in the following error from gnuplot: sp '/tmp/oct-RemFGc' u 1:2:3 t "line 1" ^ line 0: no functions or data to plot I'm guessing this is a known bug, but can anyone suggest a fix that doesn't involve patching the source and recompiling Octave from scratch? If not, can I get a tentative date for the next Octave release so I can decide if its worth just waiting for 2.1.65 (it takes nearly half a work-day to compile octave and octave-forge from scratch on my desktop computer and full day on my laptop!).
