gnuplot development

3 days ago, I posted this, the problem arose on RedHat Linux 9.  Ii
solved the poblem by re-nstalling RH9 and clicking the additional
X-term option I tried twice to just install only the x-term option but
it would not allow me to do so, probably due to some packeages I
downloaded while trying to build it on my own. Thanks for all the
help.

 I am wonderng if there is a default directory that people generally
install programs in like java or firefox that don't have automatic
installs and if there is a reason for this??

Thanks again,

Peter

Hi

I have a program that uses the following feature.
It does not work in the original enclosed with Redhat
EL30, but it is fine in the latest version I download
from the net.

But there is no version number difference, how can I
ensure the version number is correct, I would have
expected a patch level increase.


Thanks

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to draw a slop, like this:

      / 
     /
    /\  Here a latex expression...
   /--+---
  /
My function ax+b

An a tangent, and an integrated surface coloried under a function. My
function is an interpolation function...

If gnuplot can't, do you know a product capable with all of this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I need your help. =20

Currently I am using gnuplot V3.7 installed in Unix environment.
I have a need to use the feature 'xticlabels' in Gnuplot.  I am getting =
data out of database and
try to plot them using Gnuplot.

It will make my life very easy if I can use this feature.  (if possible, =
I want to avoid using
'set xtics (..,..,.......)' command).  I need to read in datastring and =
use it to label xtics, instead of x value.

I read some of the documentations on the Web, and I want to be able to =
use something like:
plot 'datafile' using 3:4:xticlabels(1) with linespoints


My Question is what version of Gnuplot do I have to have in order to use =
this feature?
The current version (V3.7) that I have here, did not work for me.

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a plotting application, which uses gnuplot as its backend.  Right now, the application pipes commands to gnuplots and gnuplot creates wonderful plots in a separate x window (set terminal x11).

I have started on embedding this output window into my (py)gtk application using a (terrible, non-portable, x11 specific) little hack:

1. Give the window a distinct title using the title option 'set terminal title xxx'.
   
2. Issue 'plot' command -> gnuplot window appears

3. Use 'xwininfo -name "xxx"' and receive the window id (yyy) of the window from the output.
   
4. Embed the gnuplot window into my own window using the Socket mechanism of gtk; for this I need to pass the window id yyy to the Socket object.
   
This works very well except for the annoyance that the window pops up in step 2, vanishes and then reappars in my own window.

As I haven't found any intrinsic property of gnuplot to embed the output windows (neither in the gnuplot documentation nor on the wild wide net), I turn to anyone on this mailing list to help me. Are there any other solutions, maybe even portable ones, to embed gnuplot into another window? (I do not request to have gnuplot as a library, piping is just fine!)
   
What suggestions do you have ?

Are there maybe any plans on adding support to embed the x11 output window ? From what I've gathered (I may be wrong), QT and GTK use a compatible mechanism to embed widgets.

Best regards,

Niklas Volbers.

Hi all,

Is there away to produce 3D histograms in gnuplot?

Here's some example data

length sp1 TCC TCA TCG sp2 TCC TCA TCG
1    ce 1    2   8    dm  5   6   0
2    ce 2    3   5    dm  5   3   7
3    ce 3    0   6    dm  4   8   10
4    ce 0    6   0    dm  7   0   5
5    ce 0    7   0    dm  0   0   0
6    ce 0    6   0    dm  8   5   6

i.e. there are two series ce and dm.

Cheers

Hi,

I want to perform a set of tasks such as 

plot 'file1.dat'
pause 1
plot 'file2.dat'
pause 1 
plot 'file3.dat'
etc....

for a large number of files and was wondering if I
could use the reread command? 

So if I have the variable `var' and increment by one
each time do I create a string,

string = "file%d.dat", var 

so that I can plot the file 

splot string

or am I completely going about this the wrong way?

Thanks in advance,

Gavin.

I would like some information about the following:

I did download gnuplot 4.0 on my Mac OS X 10.2.8 where i did also 
install
-  x11 for Mac OS X  10.2.x
- aqua term1.0.b2

When I open x11 e type gnuplot the answer is:  Command not found.
How do I solve this problem?

I also tried to type
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot

and the answer is:

  can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib  (No such 
file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap


Can I get any help on this? I would appreciate it very much.

What do you mean by "rotate the plots"?  And, more importantly, why is 
it not simpler to just rotate the PNG before you use it?
