Dear all, In order to avoid the use of temporary files, I have tried to pass data to gnuplot using the inline option in WinXP. This works fine for small amounts of data but for larger amounts, the complete amount of data is not passed. For example, I tried to send data for 500 hundred (x,y) data points, but only 355 lines were sent to gnuplot. It was possible to see this at the interactive gnuplot prompt, and actually to plot the 355 data points by entering 'e' (for "end" - part of gnuplot's inline data passing mechanism, I suppose). Is this a known feature of Windows/gnuplot-py/gnuplot? I wasn't sure how to track down this bug - I can send you an example program that reproduces this problem if you want. Regards, Noel |

It would help if you could send an example program. At the least, I could try it under Linux to see if the same problem occurs there. Michael |

Please find attached an example program with extensive commenting describing its behaviour.

Your test script runs without any problems on my Linux computer. It certainly seems like some kind of buffer limitation problem, probably specific to Windows. Since I don't use windows, I can't help you (maybe some other Windows/Gnuplot.py user can help. Michael |
