Actually this is already done on the default branch, future versions of Octave (4.2 and later) will have a better error message reporting that gnuplot is too old to be used.

See bug #44978 and the change that was made to fix it, http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/13ede127ec9a

Right, I've seen that error before with gnuplot 4.x. I don't remember the minimum version, but you can try either gnuplot 4.4 or 4.6 to see if they work.

Closing as invalid, unless you think we should be testing for this somehow to make the error clearer?

This test failure is related to the version of gnuplot. gnuplot 4.0 RC0 does not support these calls to strcat.

Related to bug #44978.

          • test

toolkit = graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot");
h = figure ("visible", "off");
unwind_protect
position = get (h, "position");
plot (rand (3));
legend ();
filename = sprintf ("%s.eps", tempname ());
print (filename);
unlink (filename);
assert (get (h, "position"), position);
unwind_protect_cleanup
close (h);
graphics_toolkit (toolkit);
end_unwind_protect
!!!!! test failed
Invalid call to strcat. Correct usage is:

-- Function File: strcat (S1, S2, ...)
