The version of MATLAB on fmrisc or econ may be executed in full graphical mode via an XWindows emulator, MI/X. MI/X must be installed on your desktop machine. A Macintosh version is available on SleekIII; you may download MI/X for Windows from http://www.microimages.com. Graphs may be viewed on screen and printed to the fmrisc/econ default printer, 'Some academic scribbler' in Carney 136.
To access this facility:
Launch the program 'MI/X'
Start a telnet session on fmrisc or econ
Use the 'who' command to find the hostname of your process (either alpha or IP address)
Enter the UNIX commands:
DISPLAY=hostname:0 export DISPLAY aixterm & (for fmrisc) or xterm & (for econ)in your telnet window.
This should bring up a telnet window in the X emulator. You must be 'in focus' when typing in an X window; that is, the mouse pointer must be in the window in which you wish to type. In the telnet window, enter the command 'matlab'. This will invoke the graphical interface to MATLAB. You may use the standard File->Print command in this context.
When you are done, log out of the telnet session in the X window, which should then shut down MI/X, and log off the original telnet session.
