Hi Julita,

I installed Octave on a F26 system and opened a fresh user account to
test the steps in your article.  When I do, I get a completely black
plot window.  I've tested this in a brand new F26 VM guest install as
well, same results.

It turns out this is a known problem with Octave on Wayland systems:

My only guess is that you are either:

(1) running an Xorg session instead of Wayland, or
(2) you set up graphics_toolkit() beforehand or in a startup file

I'll adapt the instructions to advise using graphics_toolkit("fltk")
which seems to work best and with no spew to the console.
