Subject: GUI figures in Octave 4.0.3 Mac OS X Capitan
Dear colleagues,
I was happy with my old Octave since 2012, but the new version 4.0 is really
better ! I moved to the new 10.11 version of OS X last spring, and I tried and
enjoyed first the Vagrant install of Octave last January, but it was so sluggish
to open. The new integrated 4.0.3 is so much better : thank you and
congratulations !
Yet I have a new trouble : both Aqua and Vagrant gave access to figures by their
window names in a scrolling menu, but the current version (I downloaded and
installed last week) does not offer this option. Is it a bug due to my
french-language localization of the package ? Is it a common feature of all
current 4.0.3 versions ?
With warm thanks for your service to our community,
sincerely yours,
Yves Elskens
I am not a mac user so that I may not give you adequate replies. I cannot understand the situation. Nothing is changed for octave GUI and graphics_toolkit between octave 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. What graphics_toolkit do you use? If you do not know it, please type graphics_toolkit

Dear Tatsuro,
thank you for your response. I am using Qt version 4.8.7 ; on starting, Octave ws configured for « x86 64-apple-darwin14.5.0 ».
The scrolling menu for windows does not list the figure windows with my plots ; it only lists the basic items (see attached screen capture) though I have a figure with a plot. In the Vagrant version, the list of figure windows appeared after item Documentation, if I remember well.
Sorry for being unable to tell you more.
Thank you again,
Yves Elskens I suspect you are using the gnuplot toolkit. Try …
close all graphics_toolkit qt plot (rand (3))
and then check the menu for the figure window.
