[Gnuplot-py-users] repeated replot gives errors

[John P. <par...@dr...>]

Hello.

I've been having trouble using multiple replot commands, ie:

g.plot(Gnuplot.Data(dataset[0]))
for i in xrange(1,len(dataset)):
     g.replot(Gnuplot.Data(dataset[i]))

After about the 40th row in dataset, I start getting errors like this:

gnuplot> 1961992.5 0.0 2.47496008873
          ^
          line 31995: invalid command

gnuplot> e

(if inline == 1) and sometimes about bad filenames (seems to be system 
dependent) if inline = 0.  Eventually the plot seems to come out correctly, 
but I can't verify that all the rows are actually being plotted.  Is this a 
bug, or am I going about this all wrong?  I want to overlay a bunch (~100) 
of different lines on the same plot, and then possibly an averaged line in 
dark black on top of that.

I can put sample code and plots up somewhere for reference...

Oh, this is on Debian Stable (but the bad filename errors tend to crop up on 
a Gentoo box, which I don't have administrative access to).

Thanks for your help.
John
