*:On Cygwin 1.7.9-1 the communication between octave and gnuplot is broken due to a cygwin bug. Please use a cygwin snapshot or 1.7.8-1 until cygwin-1.7.10-1 is released. Cygwin 1.7.8-1 is reported to currently work, but snapshots have notable performance improvements, so they are recommended. While the communication with gnuplot does not work, a different graphic toolkit may be available: at the Octave prompt, type <code>available_graphics_toolkit</code>, and then try setting a different toolkit, for instance <code>graphics_toolkit('fltk')</code> before testing with the <code>sombrero</code> command. | *:On Cygwin 1.7.9-1 the communication between octave and gnuplot is broken due to a cygwin bug.

Cygwin-1.7.10-1 is now available and gnuplot works; however the performance of fltk and gnuplot (in terms of smoothness of rotation, zooming and panning) is not as good as it was with fltk under cygwin-1.7.9-1. | |||
