octave opengl_renderer: Error 1286 occurred in init_gl_context

Question

When I use function plot or imagesc to draw a figure I'm getting these errors. Any ideas?

Answer 1

By default, homebrew installed my Octave with "qt" as the default for graphics. You can make Octave startup by using "gnuplot" instead by editing the file

~/.octaverc

(where ~ is your home directory) and putting the line of code:

  graphics_toolkit("gnuplot");
