Hello everyone,

there have been some changes to the API of octave 3.2.3 (or at some earlier moment).
I tried to fix them by following the instructions in the octave documentation
how to replace the deprecated function calls with the new recommended calls.
Right now octplot compiles and seems to work like before.
But please note that I didn't run a complete test suite on octplot. It's one of
those "it works for me" patches.

Additionally I changed the include directory of fltk from "Fl" to "FL". That's
not absolutely necessary but as of fltk-1.1.10 "Fl" is just a symbolic link pointing
to "FL" so I guess the "Fl" directory will be deprecated at some point in the future.

cheers
Michael

    To clarify the description above:
    The API of octave has changed which caused octplot to malfunction.
    The patch adapts octplot to the changed octave API.

    Wow, I was not aware anybody was still using octplot.

    Just out of curiosity, why aren't you octave's native graphics now that properties are fully implemented?

    Hello Shai,

    I'm working with large data sets and a fast plotting speed is crucial for me.
    Therefore I was testing octplot because it's faster than octave+gnuplot.
    However I think I have to go for a custom solution as our data sets are really
    large. So octplot currently acts as a performance reference for me.

    cheers
    Michael
