Re: issues using print on fltk/gnuplot

[HomeRun4711]

Hello,

thanks for your response.

About 1.) and 3.), the figures are produced using a script, from within 
a loop, each turn of the loop produces three figures in rapid 
succession, before each image there is a clf and close all.
Could this be a problem?
So far I thought Octave takes its time to create the graphs.
Is it possible to catch a return value from print() or something like 
this in case the figure was not produced?
Or should Octave complain if there was a problem?

I have never had this issue before on my Ubuntu installation
though I was producing figures in the same rapid succession.

About 3.), so far this only happened using fltk, but I have been using 
gnuplot only for a few hours now, so since this occured randomly using
fltk, it could happen in the next days...

Kind regards,
Walter
