Prevent figure call from .p file
1 view (last 30 days)

I need to run a function from a software package that is written in a .p file. To run it on a cluster, I need to start matlab with the following options:
matlab -nojvm -nodesktop -nosplash -nodisplay -singleCompThread
The .p file attempts to make figures which cause matlab to crash due to nojvm. Is there anyway to prevent the figure creation without being able to edit the source code?
Thanks in advance!

The whole point of p code is to prevent the end user digging around, so perhaps the writer of the code used the builtin() function to ensure built-in functions are called.
The inconsistent behavior is odd. I wonder whether it has something to do with the OS.

My guess at the moment would be that it has to do with Answers running in a LiveScript environment. LiveScript must be implicitly intercepting figure() so that it can inline figures.

I'm sure I would not recommend this in general, but in your case it seems the only feasible solution.
