problem with get(0) in Octave 3.0.1 under SuSE 10.2

[Tilo_0x00]

Hi,

I just installed Octave 3.0.1 on SuSE 10.2 to test if I can run all of my scripts on Octave.
Unfortunately, I got straight into a major problem: When call get(0) I get only

ans =
{
  tag =
  type = root figure
  currentfigure = [](0x0)
  children = [](0x0)
  visible = on
}

instead of a much longer list of properties similar to Matlab, which I have also seen before on a Windows machine with Octave 3.0.0.

Is this a problem of Linux? Do I miss something?

How is this a "major problem" for you?

Were you using jhandles on the Windows system?

The function that I'd like to run uses the Matlab root figure property ScreenSize
to adjust size and position of a GUI. I noticed that the equivalent in Octave
would be monitorposition but it doesn't show up on my Linux machine when I do get(0).

Reading ScreenSize is under Matlab the standard for adjusting the size
of figures within scripts/functions. Using a different property in
Octave is not a problem. But if it is missing it is very difficult to develop tools
that can adjust to the monitor sizes of different computers.
