This is a strange one.

When I do "plot(...)", the figure won't show up.

However, if I do "figure", the figure shows up (as figure 2 of course), and then "plot(...)", the plot shows in figure 2.

Which is fine I suppose, except that I have so old scripts and other people's scripts that no longer work they way they should.

Anybody has any idea why that is the case?

Hi Victor, what if you do something like

clf reset
plot(randn(100,1));

does it show up as figure 1?

Yeah, it does!

I suppose the reason is that upon startup I have MATLAB connect to an external API, and whatever it was doing was causing the problem.

Thanks for the tip!
