Octave Download For Windows
Krissy Pfundt
As Assad Ebrahim wrote, the problem is with the toolkit. I got another problem in version 3.8.2. that the gnuplot didn't work at all. No plot windows showed and a I needed to close Octave. If someone have the same problem, the solution is to download gnuplot and install it to Octave folder. It replaces old gnuplot and the new one is working.
I have similar symptoms using octave 4.2 when running your code (Cannot close plot windows, plot takes time to appear). When statements don't end with semicolon (;) the command and result will be printed in command window. It SEEMS to me that the command window halts interpretation of code and wait for user to press a valid key (f,b,q) to contunure or abort execution. The halt point is dependent on previously executed code and size of command window, therefore the intermittent nature of these symptoms.
The problem might be caused by Emacs octave-mode's --no-line-editing switch, you can fix it by M-x customize-variable RET inferior-octave-startup-args RET and change --no-line-editing to --line-editing.
How I installed it:
1. Install Mercurial if you don't have it, add it to the Windows path
2. Clone the repo:hg clone octave-windows
3. Open the MSYS2 shell installed with Octave
4. Install the missing packages: pacman -Sy autoconf automake
5. cd octave-windows
6. make dist
7. On Octave, install it using the full path: pkg install c:\...\octave-windows\release\windows-1.3.1+.tar.gz

I followed your instructions.
MSYS2shell should be the same cmdshell, right?
At step 4 I am not sure anything is installed because the packages are not
available. Where are they?
By the switch -d a directory is created with these names but not anything
is inside.
At step 5, I couldn't get what cd octave-window should do. Not such a
directory is created.
Failing that, make dist also stopped working at step 6: make: *** No rule
to make target 'dist'. Stop.
The package seems installed correctly at step 7.

For OSX, your best best is a binary installer (see _for_MacOS_X), alternatively, you can install from Homebrew, though as of July 6, 2014, this functionality was broken in OSX 10.9. If you use the installer, you might want to add the octave binary folder onto the path. To do so, add to the file .profile (or create it) in your home directory:
PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 includes over 30 new features, like 256 available tracks, 32 VSTi/DXi synth instances, modern color scheme for some windows, new arrow buttons to change the current time, chord symbols to display in the Track window, 48 tracks to display in the Mixer, the ability to hide any extra masters or auxes in the Mixer, improved handling of VU levels in the Track window, better VU levels display when recording to mono tracks, and much more!

Also, Octave does not start any GUI windows - it did before when i had Opensuse 13.1, now on OpenSuse 13.2 - no GUI windows appearing, but i can see the program running as a process in a terminal window.
But I would like to use the new qt plot window that comes with octave 4.0. I really want octave to work as it should. My final option if nothing works is to compile and build octave from source, but I'm reluctant to do that just yet.
Initially I wasn't able to replicate this, but then I tried the octave GUI (which I'd never used before). While octave-cli works fine for me, the gui showed this problem for me too (and a couple others which seem to be due to octave's gui not playing well with a non-reparenting WM). In my case the plot window was not black, but initially showed up with just borders. Once I moved/resized it the plot window controls appeared, but the plot area just maintained a copy of whatever had been behind it.
yes, plotting in octave-cli works. However it seems to be using the old plotting interface. However plotting in octave or octave --no-gui results in that black window. It's a shame really. I will try to see if logging in using Xorg helps, as it could be a wayland thing.
That said, over time I've found a few weird bugs, such as all black plots when saving as eps and plot legends with a lot of space between them if you increase the font size. To work around this I do all the processing in octave then save the data I want to plot and then plot it with gnuplot, which I believe octave can use directly but doesn't really work well. It's a bit of a kludge but gnuplot has not failed me yet when plotting to eps.
If you are using GNU/Octave on a Debian or Ubuntu based system, execute thiscommand in a terminal: sudo apt build-dep octave-psychtoolbox-3 and then goto step 2. If you are using Octave on a different Linux distribution (unsupportedby us, although it will probably work on many!) then you will need to track downand install various runtime dependencies manually.
Currently available complete windows binaries, which usually include a new Cygwin, simply overwrite the Windows registry keys which pertain to existing Cygwin installations. As a result, pre-existing Cygwin installations are disabled. If the Octave distro installation directory happens to be the same as the one where the original Cygwin installation lived, it can even be ruined for ever.
The cause is obviously that you installed a complete binary cf. Method 2 rather than a cygwin binary cf. Method 4.
It may be possible to repair your original Cygwin registry keys, but that comprises hacking around in the Windows registry. You then run risks like mistyping, sudden power drops and others, and as any registry editing is effected immediately, you run a very real risk of even ruining your complete Windows.
You'd better try to restore things by just re-installing the Cygwin base package - that will probably restore the registry keys; be sure to specify the proper Cygwin install directory in the Cygwin setup!
Luckily the newest complete windows binary distro checks for existing Cygwin installations.
We experimentally demonstrate solid-core photonic crystal fibers that guide via the inhibited coupling mechanism. We measure an overall transmission window of more than an octave, as well as an uninterrupted width of almost one octave. The fiber is fabricated in polymer, with high-index ring-shaped inclusions. This type of fiber was conceived based on a simple model which shows that the cutoffs of the modes of a thin ring cluster around the cutoffs of planar waveguide modes. The model shows that such ring based fibers are closely related to kagome and square lattice hollow core fibers, and have transmission bandwidths that could in principle reach 1.6 octaves. Measured transmission properties are in good agreement with rigorous modelling.
