This is fixed with cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b439ccc9a162, the manual is built with the Qt toolkit now.

TeX rendering can be done with fltk as it is now and this
is at least briefly described in the Manual. But, it is a
2-step process and so not too convenient for integration
in the build flow. And, additional editing would be needed
since the Octave output is LaTeX, not texinfo.
For other purposes, like publications, I find the current
fltk quite convenient. There is actually an advantage of
including any TeX material after the plots are generated
since the annotations can be adjusted without having to
regenerate the plots. And, you get to use your configured
TeX/LaTeX so it is easy to include related material in the
annotations.

Adding dependency on bug #42320 since TeX rendering is required to generate the images for the Octave documentation.

And there is another problem in that the build currently fails in doc/interpreter if you don't have OSMesa installed. We've gone from requiring gnuplot to requiring OpenGL and OSMesa instead. I've asked jwe to look at supporting whichever toolkit is available, or maybe we just make OSMesa another requirement for developers.

This is now being done… sort of. Cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1170c849952b changed the build to no longer switch to Gnuplot when building the figures for the manual. However, there is one figure in the documentation that demonstrates the use of TeX, which doesn't currently work with OpenGL printing.

Jordi nailed it. Until we have reliable production of figures we can't completely move to OpenGL-based graphics. See the bug report for bug #36255

We can't build the docs with fltk because OpenGL offscreen plotting rarely works.

Hi
when running configure without gnuplot, the building of documentation is automatically disabled. I have tracked this to changeset 14579:4dc85c4f151b
I understand that plotting may be needed to build the documentation but shouldn't in that case check if fltk could be used instead rather than disabling it? I see that in the dev release of octave, native graphics are already automatically used when gnuplot is missing.
