Sorry. I should have asked which version of Octave you were running.

Version 3.2.x is rather dated. Version 3.6.0 has just be released.

I don't have a 3.2.x version to try, but ...

        graphics_backend fltk
        close all
        scatter(rand(100,1),rand(100,1),20,rand(100,1),'o','filled') 

I'm not sure if the "filled" option is supported in 3.2.x.
