It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. HOMEPAGE http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ KNOWN BUGS 1) on cygwin-1.7.9 the plotting function is working very bad. This is due to a cygwin bug and is not a octave bug. Any cygwin snapshots after 2011-06-01 solve the issues, so the next cygwin-1.7.10 will definetly remove the bug. 2) Only on cygwin version printing plots from fltk cause segfault. Never succeeded, for lack of time and competence, to identify the root cause : octave, fltk, cygwin ? To reproduce: run octave and at prompt ------------------------- graphics_toolkit ("fltk") x=1:10; plot(x,x) print("fltk.png","-dpng") ------------------------- the plot is built and printed as file but octave crashes.
