Intel-mac trying to use imshow.m

[Jay Warrick]

I installed octave-forge from HPC along with the Aqua and GNU plot  
apps that HPC suggested. I am able to plot figures in Aqua but can't  
get imshow.m to work at all (and its companion image.m). No errors  
occur but nothing shows up. After a little searching to see what I  
could do about getting images to show, I followed a link that  
provided an alternate version of image.m that would try and convert  
the image to tiff and use the system's default tiff viewer (Preview)  
to display the image. I have run the convert script 'convert logo:  
logo.gif' successfully for ImageMagick so it appears that that is  
probably working well. I have not been able to successfully use  
'display' in ImageMagick. I have checked that octave does refer to  
the new image.m file (attached below). Octave's imshow still doesn't  
display my grayscale matrix. The next octave prompt comes up like it  
executed successfully but nothing shows up.

To complicate things more, I should mention that I use Matlab R14. I  
run it from the command line with the options -nojvm and -display :0.  
I do this because some image processing functions I need are  
contained in this application. However, I cannot view the results  
because this version of matlab cannot display anything on intel- 
mac's. The problem with octave imshow is the same whether I have  
matlab running or not.

Any hints as to what to do?

Thank you VERY much in advance. (P.S. I am at UW madison. So, if  
there is anybody here to meet up with about this issue, I am more  
than willing to do so if it makes this easier)
