Trouble with graphics on Octave/DragonFly BSD

[Muthiah Annamalai]

| I'd be happy to help debug and/or fix this problem; however, I'm a total newbie
| when it comes to Octave source code, and it would be very helpful if someone
| could tell me where to look - i.e, which C++ source file implements "get".

Octave source has many interesting pointers in files,

 octave/BUGS - how to report bugs, and such
 octave/PROJECTS - what is welcome additions
 octave/NEWS - whats been going on for a long time, 
 general changes/improvements made.
 octave/README
 octave/ROADMAP  - general feel of the sources and directory 
                   organization

Octave has manuals, FAQs etc in the octave/doc directory after
you build it.

Since most folks dont know their way around the Octave code, some 
use Doxygen for documentation. You can also follow up on the bug-list
and lurk in the lists and study the patches people post.

But if you have a bug follow the procedure and make a detailed report.
