How to update a figure while running Octave in terminal

Amazingly ignorant question... I'm running Octave using the terminal in OSX. I have a function that initializes a figure, then calls another function that imagesc's a matrix in that figure. On every iteration of the function a new matrix should be printed to the figure. Presently the figure only updates after the entire function has run. The figure should update continuously while the function is running. How can I get a figure to update continuously during a function run while running Octave in the terminal?

Thanks!

Alex

Have you tried adding the command drawnow after the plot command that updates the plot?
