This looks like an issue with incompatible graphics card drivers.
Since we now ship with an OpenGL software renderer, the crash should no longer occur.

Closing as fixed.

If you can still crash Octave 4.4.1 or the upcoming Octave 5 with graphics_toolkit qt, please report back here or open a new bug report.

You can add the command


graphics_toolkit gnuplot


to your octaverc file so that it is always executed when starting octave.  That is much more convenient than having to add the command to every m-file you write.

Works like a charm.  Thank you for this suggestion.

Almost certainly some combination of operating system, OpenGL SW drivers, and video hardware.

Does using a non-GL toolkit work?


graphics_toolkit gnuplot
x = 1:50;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)

If I go to Debug in Visual Studio, this is the part of the call stack that caused the exception:

> nvoglv64.dll!000000001ed9eb42() Unknown

plot(x,y)


% or any instance of the use of plot()
% Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
% also happened to me in 4.2.0 which prompted install of 4.2.1
