I'm running MATLAB 2012a on Linux's command line with -nodisplay option. When I run my code I get a segmentation fault. The following piece of code reproduce my error. The error is produced when the plot has transparencies. If I comment out this line put alpha(h2,0.5);, it works fine.
filename ='mypng.png';
Image1 = imread('peppers.png');
[row,col,~]=size(Image1);
Image2 = ones(row,col);
f=figure(1);set(f,'Visible','off');
h1=imagesc(Image1);
hold on
h2=imagesc(Image2);
alpha(h2,0.5);
axis off;
print(f,'-dpng',filename);
The result is: Segmentation fault (core dumped).
Any idea how to fix this problem?
