Hello again,

Just to add to my previous message: increasing nx or ny in my script can crash scilab during the call to xend().
On my small local machine, this occurs for:

   nx=4000;
   ny=3000;

for which scilab takes ~7 seconds to create the png in "normal" mode...

Can any of you confirm this bug?

Hello all,

In these days of remote working, I need to use again scilab in headless mode to generate graphics.

In other words, I connect  in command line only to a remote server where scilab is installed and I want it to generate graphics using a combination of driver, xinit and xend.

There seems to be some issues with driver/xinit/xend: huge memory overhead and long computation time that makes it impossible to generate some plots in headless mode.

For example, a simple Sgrayplot that takes ~1 second to plot and save to a png in normal mode takes more than 200 seconds and huge amount of ram in headless mode (see attached test script).

I also have some plots that works without a problem in normal mode, but fail in headless mode because of some memory limitation:

    xend: An error occurred: Unable to create export file, not enough
    memory. Decreasing the number of elements or the size of the
    figure should fix this error.

Is there a way to get around these problems?

Thanks for your help,

Antoine
