No response to requests for more information for several months, closing report since there is nothing reproducible or actionable.

For reference, the "can't print non-visible figures" bug is bug #33180.

For the other issue reported, the example posted is not complete, it depends on data files that are not attached to this bug report. Can you either confirm Pantxo's suggestion that the plot prints correctly if you give it some time to finish, or attach a complete example that we can run to reproduce what you're seeing?

The difference between octave 3.6.4 and 3.8.1 is that "fltk" is now the default graphics toolkit. It is a known issue that with fltk the figure must be visible in order to be printed.

Can you try "close all; graphics_toolkit gnuplot" before running your function?

Now about the scrambled/non responsive window (with fltk again), I can confirm that behavior but it lasts only the time to print the figure to file (no more than a few seconds for a reasonably complicated figure). Maybe your figure has very many points and the time to print it is long. Can you decimate your data before printing and see if it improves the printing time?

Hi, I've tried a number of different commands to save a plot, this script worked in the previous version I had installed (3.6.4) but not longer works in the newer 3.8.1 version.
I simply get no output at all, no file and no error displayed. Also when the graph plot window is set to "visible" the window suffers graphically glitches and won't respond to clicks or any input.
