Scilab 5.02 closes

Hi,
When I run a simple program in Scilab 5.02 to get some simple curve, the
graphic window opens during a very short time and then everything closes!
Same program works fine with Scilab 5.01 (except impossibility to
copy "as EhhMetafile" as I say in another post).

Hello Gabriel,

I tried a lot of the demos with 5.02 and they all worked.
Do the examples from the Scilab home page work on your PC?

http://www.scilab.org/doc/demos_html/node184.html
http://www.scilab.org/doc/demos_html/node191.html

Can you show your not working Scilab example code?

Best regards,
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
Just one example : 3D parametric curve.
With 5.0.1 no problem ;
with 5.0.2, graphic window opens and immediately everything closes;
Scilab become completely closed ; no more console, nothing.
Best regards.

by the way, what is your graphic card?

Hello,

As you can see on the ati.amd.com website, the driver of this graphic
card is quite old (18 aug 2006) ... and buggy.
Let's pray that amd will release an update driver for this old graphic
card soon ....

That's not my understanding of the java-spirit: "Write once, run
anywhere".
All the old graphic-hardware should work, of course!
What are the reasons for such behaviour (GUI-Implementation-Modes)?

Only one of the demo's worked on my new 64 bit vista ultimate pc
(intel quad 6600, asus p5q pro), do I continue with scilab or disgard
it as any other non functioning freeware ?

It is not that they mean by "Write once, run anywhere".

It is because we are using some features (pbuffer) of OpenGL which are
baldy supported by some features.

So have I to understand that to can run Scilab, I have to use
particuliar graphic cards, and if so, which ones?
Thanks.

For now, under Linux, Nvidia proprietary drivers are working very well.
ATI most recent drivers too.
Intel not at all. The current solution is to use software acceleration
(mesa).
However, we are working to tackle this issue on an upper level and the
JOGL team is aware of this.

Hi,

I'm having the similar problems running on Windows XP with Nvidia
Quadro FX 1700. Somehow I doubt this card have buggy GL drivers,
though I could be wrong.

It seems to me like the problem is related to the number of open plot
windows, if I run two plots in one script it crashes. If I run one
plot it's ok. If I already have one plot window open and run another
plot, it crashes. Sounds to me like either a buffer problem or a GL
context problem.

I'm kind of a newbie with scilab, so any tip for plotting several
graphs in the same window would be appreciated.

regards,

Håvard

Use Scilab 4.1.2 until the graphics problems in Scilab 5 are solved...

I don't find any place on the ati.amd site saying that this driver would
be buggy. Where did you find this (last release 15/11/2006, not 18/08/2006)?
