"Graphics timeout occurred"

I got:

"Warning: Warning: Graphics timeout occurred. To share details of this issue with MathWorks technical support, please include that this is an unresponsive graphics client with your service request. To share details of this issue with MathWorks technical support, please include that this is an unresponsive graphics client with your service request."

What happened?

I get this error occasionally as well. If you report it to Tech Support and get an answer can you post back here?

[Steven Lord]

@Paul since this is a pretty general warning please contact Technical Support yourself, in case the reason that you receive this message is different from the reason that @alpedhuez receives it.

Can you reproduce this issue? If so, sharing the steps that reproduce this would be helpful.

Nevertheless, please report this to tech support.

I constantly get this error as well. It seems fairly trivial to reproduce for me. Run any livescript that draws a plot. Walk away for the night and come back in the morning. Unlock my machine and try to run any livescript that draws a plot.

I have got it at other times, but it seemed in those cases like the memory requirements were overflowing the graphic card. To fix those I either had to filter datasets to reduce the burden or built in a lot of close/clear statements to dump memory when looping.

@Justin Bell, what release of MATLAB are you using?

Also, what's in the live script and the plot? Would this problem happen in a live script file that contains only the following code?
