These commands are working now. Release: 4.4.1.

@Christopher: Octave now ships with a software opengl driver for Windows. Could you check if this bug is still present with your graphics card?

@mmuetzel: Awesome, thanks for the fix. gnuplot should be fine. I currently have the most up to date drivers.

Shouldn't there be a handler for when OpenGL crashes instead of having Octave crash as well? I would still categorize this as a bug.

If the gnuplot toolkit is working but the OpenGL based toolkits are not, this might point to a graphics card drivers issue.
@cjl4hd: Are your drivers up-to-date? Can you re-try after updating them?
In the mean time, I hope you are OK with using the gnuplot toolkit. You could set that to your default in .octaverc (see [1]).


@all: Is there a bug report, wiki page or something else that lists the graphics cards / drivers that seem to be affected by OpenGL bugs?

The fltk toolkit fails, while the gnuplot toolkit seems to work just fine for plot(1). After trying this I ran graphics_toolkit gnuplot, followed by 2D figures with subplots, lines, and points. All worked as expected.

Thank you for your answer. Please use the bug tracker for replying so that others can see your answer, too.

Can you try with other graphics toolkits?

close all
graphics_toolkit fltk
plot (1)


Or:

close all
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
plot (1)

When running the script, it shows a window: "octave-gui.exe has stopped working" and windows closes the program.

Are you sure that Octave really crashed?
Did you see any error messages? Or did it "block" the GUI? If the latter, how long did you wait? Octave can take veeeery long when plotting for the first time. Especially if you have many installed fonts.

Plotting something as simple as plot(1); causes Octave to crash in Windows 7 Professional. Running on Core i7 6600, with Intel HD graphics 520.
