As mentioned the easy workaround for now is to use X11

However, I think the ugly problem which needs to be addressed is that you don't have access to the image toolbox if you don't rebuild eg. with MacPorts. 

Expecting people with a need for Octave on Mac to rebuild with MacPorts is like saying that car drivers should first mount the tires.

I"ve filed a bug report for this problem.

        http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3583459&group_id=2055&atid=102055

Perhaps it is best to avoid using AquaTerm with gnuplot? My gnuplot includes the variants below.

        gnuplot @4.6.1_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+qt+x11 (active)

If you include the "qt" variant then the following should work ...

        setenv GNUTERM qt
        close all

        img = uint8 (round (255 * rand (5,4,3)));

        imwrite (img, "image.png", "png");
        img = imread ("image.png");
        image (img)

If it does not, verify that an earlier gnuplot isn't being called.  You can do that by typing

        system ("which gnuplot")

at Octave's prompt.

Thanks Edmund, x11 works nicely, although I first have to start x11 by hand, which is alright.

I'm not sure what you are referring to with "rebuilding"...

Anyways, thanks again,

Jan
