Hi,
i am trying the new octave for windows installer versions (I tried 3.0.3
and 3.1.50). The JHandles graphic backend works, but it is limited if
you want to find out more information about the mouse position.
So I tried it with gnuplot. The problem is now that the gnuplot window
is hanging and there is no way to use the controls. I can resize it. But
the plot does not resize until I change it in the octave command line,
for example using "grid on" or "grid off". I am still not able to use
the controls of the gnuplot window but at least the plot resizes to the
window size.
I am using Windows XP. Is this a known problem? Are there workarounds?
The fact that the plot is not updated when you resize the window is
the normal behavior of gnuplot: you have to force a replot to update
the window, for instance by changing the grid mode. There's no way
around that. For the other controls, at least the zoom buttons should
be functional: you should be able to zoom with the mouse (I don't
remember which mouse button you have to use), then switch back
to previous view using the button.
