[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43340] plot command does not work with OS X

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #43340 (project octave):

May not be relevant, but I recall that Homebrew's gnuplot does not support
Aquaterm or x11 by default.

The default configuration of Homebrew's gnuplot doesn't support any terminals
for displaying the plots.  To add support for x11,


brew uninstall gnuplot;
brew install gnuplot --with-x


I don't know if Homebrew supports qt or not.  Perhaps someone can experiment
with the octave commands below and report back.


setenv GNUTERM qt
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
close all
plot (rand (3))


Homebrew definitely doens't provide Aquaterm.  But if you are up to a bit of
hacking, you'll first need to download and install Aquaterm

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/aquaterm/

And then setup the Homebrew build of gnuplot to link to the Aquaterm libs. If
you need help with that, please inquire on the Homebew and/or gnuplot help
lists.

Beware of multiple installs of Aquaterm and/or gnuplot.  You'll avoid a lot of
head-aches if you only have one of each installed on your computer.

Ben
