Getting octave to plot when invoking a function from the command line

Question

I am trying to run a function in octave from the command line. The function is currently run like so:

octave --silent --persist --eval 'function(input arguments)'

function.m contains a plot command. When I invoke octave with the above command line parameters, the plot does show but octave enters into its interactive mode. My question is:

Is there any way to get octave to display the plot without entering the interactive mode when it is invoked from the command line?

Answer 1

Just use pause after your plotting functions
