<p>Hallo Scilab family,</p>
<p>After two decades of using Scilab I was not able to fix the
following problem.</p>
<pre style="font-family:Monospaced;font-style:normal;font-size:20.0;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">fig</span><span style="color:rgb(92,92,92);">=</span><span style="color:rgb(50,185,185);">figure</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">visible</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">off</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">)</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">;</span>
<span style="color:rgb(174,92,176);text-decoration:underline;">plot</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);">0</span><span style="color:rgb(255,170,0);">:</span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);">5</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);">0</span><span style="color:rgb(255,170,0);">:</span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);">5</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">)</span>

<span style="color:rgb(50,185,185);">set</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">fig</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">visible</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">,</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">on</span><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">'</span><span style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">)</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">;
The script does what I expect. However when uncommenting <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">xtitle</font> the figure is blank (Version 5.5.2*). What can I do?
The background of this question is a script which creates some 10 figures which are filled with polylines in a loop. Whithout the <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">visible</font> off/on there is a nervous flicker of graphics which I want to avoid.
But</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"> <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">xtitle</font></span> is a must.
*) I cannat go to Version 6 because most of my earlier scripts would not run.
Regards
Jens
