Re: figure: requires X11 and valid DISPLAY

[Marius Schamschula]

Matthias,

You can use the Aquaterm  fGUI for gnuplot, instead of X11. This requires gnuplot to be built without X11 support. (default is yes)

Otherwise, you need to install X11. It is on your Mac OS X install disk.

If you want to use Terminal.app instead ot xterm, you need to edit .bash_profile and add

DISPLAY=0.0

export DISPLAY

Dear all,

I'm running Octave on Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, gnuplot has the 'aquaterm' 

terminal for displaying stuff directly on a Mac OS. X11 is therefore 

not needed to produce plots from gnuplot (and Octave). However, calling 

'figure' in Octave on a Mac without X11 installed produces the follwing 

error:

figure: requires X11 and valid DISPLAY

Is this a bug or a feature?

Cheers,

Matthias
