Octave has greatly improved the print function recently. I have learned about it from this comment by Pantxo: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=45137#comment5 With the new print function, PNG is not 100% as good as OSmesa/mesa rendering, but good enough for me. I will remove the need for OSmesa with the upcoming release of octave-interval upstream. Oliver
