It seems to me that line dissapearing is related to "graphicssmoothing" option for figure object.
If I set it to "off" lines are visible, but all plot becoming  not so pretty as for "on".

Closing bug report as an upstream issue in MESA.

Version 4.4.1 is deprecated and no longer supported.  Do we want or need to keep this bug open?  It seems like the eventual fix will need to take place upstream in MESA code.

For my Octave 4.4.1 on Windows 7 32-bit I get same results. Also on resizing plot window - it seems like redrawing the windows lag behind - when I resize - the plot doesn't change, but on next redraw event (next resizing, changing window focus) - the previous plot appear. So I can create plot like on attached files (plot2.png, plot3.png).

@Pantxo: I am happy to try to do that, but am completely ignorant of how Mesa is incorporated into Octave so I'm not sure I could post a very helpful bug report.  I'm interested in learning though, so can you point me to where I could get more info about that?  Thanks.

@Asa: Ok, considering the answers in bug #54396, I'll mark this report as "confirmed". There is not much we can do about it except posting a bug report on MESA tracker (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa). Could you do that?

Done - thanks for your response!

I can't reproduce the missing lines  but clearly the apparent width of the line is affected by the number of points for me too (on linux with a gallium based nouveau driver).

Octave 4.4.1 for Windows is now built against a faster OpenGL implementation, see bug #54396. This could be the cause of this change since 4.4.0.

Could you post your offending code in bug #54396 and see if someone can reproduce?

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to create an account before I submitted this bug.

Hi,

I installed octave-4.4.1-w64-installer.exe on my Windows 10 1803 x64 box, and some plots that worked fine in 4.4.0 are now not working.  I am using the qt graphics toolkit.

When I do a plot of a very large array, some of the graphic elements are not visible.  For example, if I do


plot(zeros(1,150000))


there is nothing shown in my plot at all when the plot window first opens.  However, if I maximize the plot window (and click Autoscale), then the expected horizontal line appears, although it is paler than the normal plot color.  With a larger array, like length 1000000, even maximizing the window doesn't show anything.

If I rename the opengl32.dll file in octave's bin folder, then this problem goes away.  So this is not a showstopper for me.

As another data point, if I do


plot(sin((1:250000)*2*pi/250000))


then with the plot window at the default size, the top and bottom of the sine wave don't show up, although the rest of the wave does (see attached screenshot).  If I maximize the plot window, then the entire wave is visible.

Not sure what other info might be relevant, but I am happy to provide more or do other tests if it would help.

Thanks!

Asa
