Batch plotting: Windows and Autosys

.. The story began with a puzzle. Me and my colleague
logged on to the same Windows server via Remote Desktop
Connection, using the same login, and published (in 'live'
and batch modes) the same Matlab script plotting some
figures. My figures had legends, his didn't.

The Matlab error message

MATLAB only supports a screen depth of 16 or higher
(Truecolor.)
MATLAB is running in headless mode. Figure windows will
not be displayed.

suggested we compare our RDC connection options. Surely
enough, these were different; after changing his
connection options (Display > Colors), my colleague was
able to get the plots right.

The problem, however, is that the figures in question are
meant to be produced not by either of us, but
automatically, with batches executed on the same server by
Autosys triggers - and, you guessed it, they don't come
out right that way. There is no RDC, and no idea how to
change the server-to-server connection in a similar way.
Has anyone encountered the same problem, and can share a
solution?

Thank you.
