Re: Fwd: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: experimental octave-3.4.2-2

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have downloaded octave-3.4.2-3 using cygwin setup.
(cygwin-1.7.8)
-------------------------
graphics_toolkit ("fltk")
x=1:10;
plot(x,x)
print("fltk.png","-dpng")
-------------------------
For　my machine, plot does not appeared as in the attachment file (fltk_cyg.png)
Fltk printing went wel (fltk.png).

Regards

Tatsuro
