Category: Lisp Core - Plotting Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: Jaime E. Villate (villate) Assigned to: Jaime E. Villate (villate) Summary: postscript terminal requires manual reset of default termina Initial Comment: Bug reported by Leo Butler in the Users list: When using the gnuplot_pipes plot format, the use of [gnuplot_preamble,"set terminal postscript ...] appears to require that subsequent calls manually reset the terminal to the default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dieter Kaiser (crategus) Date: 2010-03-27 17:16 Message: Setting the status to closed. The bug has been fixed already. Dieter Kaiser ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jaime E. Villate (villate) Date: 2010-03-26 14:40 Message: This bug has been fixed, but its solution has not been committed to the repository yet because the CVS sever is currently down. It will be committed when the server goes up again. The problem was introduced when the default gnuplot terminal command for Unix systems was changed from "x11" to empty. That was done to allow different installations to use their default terminal, which in most cases is better than "x11" (wxt is much nicer than x11). The change worked fine when the gnuplot format was used, because in that case a new gnuplot session is started for each plot command. However, when the gnuplot_pipes format is used, a plot command does not start a new gnuplot session but instead the plot is sent to an open gnuplot session. When the terminal was changed into postscript and then back to the default terminal, this last step did not change the terminal, leaving it as postscript. To avoid that problem while letting each site use its own default terminal, the default gnuplot terminal command will now be defined as "set term pop", which restores the initial terminal used when gnuplot was started; in fact, it is a good idea to use the same command at Windows sites, anticipating that different Windows versions of gnuplot might have a default terminal different from the "windows" terminal currently used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=2976744&group_id=4933 |
