[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61823] not possible to print uiXXX objects

[Rik]

Update of bug #61823 (project octave):

              Item Group: Unexpected Error or Warning => Matlab Compatibility 
 
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Release:                   6.4.0 => dev                    
                 Summary: error when printing on file a figure containing
uitable object => not possible to print uiXXX objects

Follow-up Comment #1:

I don't think uiXXX objects of any type are printable in Octave.  For example,
"help print" displays documentation for the print function and I see


     '-noui'
          Don't print uicontrol objects such as pushbuttons which may
          overlay the plot.  This is the default behavior and it is not
          possible to include uicontrol objects in the output without
          using an external screen capture tool.



So, unfortunately if you want to display tabular data another program might be
better.  All the calculations and data preparation can still be done in
Octave, and then use a convenient format like CSV for exchanging the data with
the program that would be used for printing.

On the 7.0.90 Release Candidate the code produces a much more reasonable
message


error: print: no axes object in figure to print
