RE: Octave installation Windows 7

[Stampfli Marx]

PATH and EXEC_PATH contains now "C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs9.06\\bin", both contain the directories to fig2dev and pstoedit abut still no *.png file when my print('figTest.png','-dpng')

Try to use EXEC_PATH function from octave instead.

I installed ghostscript and I set the path in octavert

setenv ("PATH", [ getenv("PATH")  pathsep  "C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs9.06\\bin"]).

strsplit (getenv ("PATH"), ";") shows that the path is set correctly.

But my print('figTest.png','-dpng') still does not create the *.png file.

My good old octave 3.03 creates very good *.png files, even better than 3.2.4.

I know 3.6.x supports quaternions, which I'd like to simulate android smartphones in octave

What can I do?

Thank you Philip
I did all you proposed. The files and directories copied in the correct
path, setting the path in octaverc. / replaced by \\, no directory with a
blank in its name. All these pathes are visual in octaves, tested with
getenv("PATH"). The fiels are found.
No warning messages appear now. but there is no *.png file.
Do I really have to install ghostscript as Michael proposed? Or is the
graphic end qt wrong?

 

I think you really need ghostscript. The other utilities that you installed are needed for more exotic file formats.
