To use Octave's graphical capabilities, the installation of a desktop environment and the usage of a VNC Server is required.  (Please add more information how to do this here.)  On many android devices, only the graphics toolkit "gnuplot" is known to work.  Several apps (e.g. [https://github.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-App Anlinux], [https://andronix.app/ Andronix]) are available to easily install the Linux distribution of your choice, and setting up the desktop environment.
