Hi Andrew: I find that with Octave 3.2.4-6 from Debian testing that there are errors in the p7, p16, p17, p20, and p21 examples.
In particular, if you run make test_octave_xwin (which indirectly runs plplot_test/test_octave_interactive.sh(.in)) or make test_octave_psc (which indirectly runs plplot_test/test_octave.sh(.in)) you will find the following error messages: p7 warning: split is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave; please use strsplit instead error: dimension mismatch in argument a error: called from: error: plshade1 at line 4848, column 1 error: /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/examples/../bindings/octave/PLplot/shade.m at line 175, column 3 error: /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/examples/octave/p7.m at line 25, column 3 and similarly for p16, and p20. p17 has its own special error (note the first two warnings are for previous examples): p17 warning: split is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave; please use strsplit instead warning: comet: FIXME: axis is 'auto', turning it to 'tight'. warning: loadimage is obsolete and will be removed from a future version of Octave; please use imread instead warning: division by zero warning: division by zero warning: division by zero warning: division by zero *** PLPLOT WARNING *** plwind: Invalid window limits in x. *** PLPLOT WARNING *** plwind: Invalid window limits in y. *** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION *** plimagefr: nx and ny must be positive, aborting operation I presume the errors for p7, p16, and p20 are at least partially generated by your revision 11089 to bindings/octave/PLplot/shade where you replaced plshade by plshade1. I don't know what causes the error(s) for p17. I assume you ran test_octave_xwin or equivalent with your version of octave with no errors so there is probably a verification issue for these errors. Note, the recommended standard version of octave according to http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html is 3.2.4, and I presume the Debian testing version 3.2.4-6 that I have used has only had bug fixes applied rather than substantial changes to that standard version. Therefore, I believe it is likely you will be able to verify my result if you can upgrade/downgrade your octave version to 3.2.4. I have temporarily (revision 11094) removed p7, p16, p17, p20, and p21 (the combined example) from these tests so the above two specific test targets and the corresponding test_interactive and test_noninteractive targets will complete without errors. Of course, these examples should be restored when these issues are fixed. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
