Re: [Gnuplot-info] bounding box cut half when eps file with multiplot is transformed into pdf file

[Dr. I. D. J. <die...@t-...>]

Hi Jon,
put the script attached into /usr/local/bin and make it executable (chown 
root.root gnuplotps2pdf, chmod 0755 gnuplotps2pdf)

Rename your *.eps - file into an *.ps file (just rename, nothing else ....), 
I. e. mv myfile.eps myfile.ps and call

gnuplotps2pdf myfile.ps

Look what comes out via xpdf myfile.pdf

If you like it, well, this is the optimum for latex input. My suggestion would 
be to switch from the eps-terminal to the postscript terminal.

The resulting pdf files have the minimum bounding box, so a centered 
integration into latex is possible.

Take a look into the document I attached, this ought to be self explanatory in 
many directions.
Take care


Dieter

Re: [Gnuplot-info] bounding box cut half when eps file with multiplot is transformed into pdf file

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

It returns the following

%%BoundingBox: 67 63 391 299
%%HiResBoundingBox: 67.463998 63.971998 390.905988 298.374952

which seems fairly reasonable(?) even if the %%boundingbox in eps is

%%BoundingBox: 50 162 410 302

which is too small.

(But I am not sure , 299-63 = 302-162 ...)

Any further suggestions in generating the right pdf even if the boundingbox
parameter is not right in the eps file?

Thanks,
Jon

Re: [Gnuplot-info] generate .eps file in %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 format?

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

Thanks, Dr. Jurzitza. Yes you are right. It is not a problem of gnuplot, but
of Scientific Workplace. I tried hard to figure it out that the problem is
with SWP. Basically SWP would not support graphic array, but I don't know
why. I now have given up using SWP for sophisticated latex task.

Sincerely,
Jon

Hi Jon,
just for curiosity: what does

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=bbox myfile.eps

return? myfile.eps should be the name of your eps-file. Is the box gs returns 
correct in size (I.e. similar to the size you used for testing)?

[Dr. I. D. J. <die...@t-...>]

Hi Jon,
I am quite sure that this has nothing to do with gnuplot, but with your latex 
document. You need to include the appropriate package(s) in order to make this 
work. And you have to distinguish whether you want to generate dvi output or 
pdf output, so the next question would be whether you call "latex" or 
"pdflatex" in order to generate your document.

The log file ought to tell you more about this. To make things sure, you 
should create the very same "test.tex" file - snippet and include an eps file 
from gnuplot and then an eps file from xgrace. This should give you the same 
results. Search for the documentation of graphicx.sty, for pdflatex I'd expect 
something like 
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
within your document.

But: questions about TeX should be asked in a TeX mailing-list. This is off-
topic here.

Take care

[Gnuplot-info] bounding box cut half when eps file with multiplot is transformed into pdf file

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

I tried to invoke epstopdf to transform a eps file into a pdf file to work
along with pdflatex. The eps file includes a multiplot composing upper and
down parts. The transformed pdf file, however, only contains the upper part.
I looked into the eps file and changed the bounding box line from
%%BoundingBox: 50 176 410 302 to %%BoundingBox: 50 50 410 302, and redo the
transformation. It seems the problem is corrected. Is this always the right
way to deal with this issue? Can it be corrected when gnuplot generates the
eps file?

I formerly mentioned that the latex command does weird things on my
computer, sometimes it recognizes .eps file, but sometimes not. I don't know
why. Most likely both latex and pdflatex are installed in my computer. Thus
sometimes it uses latex, which recognizes .eps file, but other moments it
uses pdflatex. Is this correct? If so, how could this happen?

Thanks,
Jon

[Gnuplot-info] generate .eps file in %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 format?

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

I am trying to include .eps file into latex. I generated .eps file using
gnuplot. The problem is that it cannot be successfully compiled, complaining
that

! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps

However, this does not happen for .eps files created from xgrace. I tried to
compare the difference between these two and find that it could be because
the .eps is created in xgrace has higher version number than it created from
gnuplot 4.2.

I am wondering whether this is the actual cause of the problem. If the case,
is it possible to upgrade gnuplot to generate .eps files with higher
version.

Thanks,

John

Thanks for letting me aware of this command. But it seems it cannot choose
to display the coordinate in graph or screen format, but only in first
format. Am i right?

gnuplot can already display the current mouse position in graph 
coordinates.  It's mouse format number 2, reachable either via the 'set 
mouse' command option 'mouseformat', or via the default bindings '1' and 
'2' of mouse interaction.

[Gnuplot-info] locate accurate position in a graph

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

It seems locating an accurate position on a graph to put some label or arrow
on needs try and wrong many times if using graph or screen coordinate, which
is time-consuming. I notice that gnuplot provide a functionality to show the
coordinate of the cursor at the left-bottom of the window real time using
first coordinate, which is so helpful to use. I am wondering whether gnuplot
could do something similar by adding a command-line command to toggle
between different types of coordinates to display.

Just a simple thought, thanks for your friendly suggestions and kind
consideration

[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot configure/make issues

[Paul M. <pcm...@ya...>]

I ran into some issues with configuring and compiling gnuplot 4.4.2 on RedHat Linux. 


Here is the output of a 'uname -a' command;

Linux xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.com 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:41:38 EST 
2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


First issue was the need to install the libgd libraries.



Second issue was the 'configure' script was choking during the process 
of detecting the proper parameters for the 'readline' calls. Although it
 was properly detecting which calls were supported, the makefile options
 that it detected were immediately overwritten by a recursive call that 
was testing the readline.h file. 

In particular, the make file option 
-lncurses was overwritten, but any of ncurses curses termcap terminfo or
 termlib types would not have been properly configured in the makefile.



The failure to find the ncurses option/switch resulted in a build error 
with an output like;
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetflag'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `PC'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `UP'

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr'



And, if that weren't enough, subsequent 'configure' tests for libraries 
such as the compression library 'libz' would fail because of the 
previous failure to properly configure the readline libraries.



My workaround was to hard-code the '-lncurses' switch into the configure
 script after its test for readline.h.



Third issue was  the configure script's call into the libgd script, 
gdlib-config --libs, that provides the compile options. The gdlib-config
 includes a macro @LIBICONV@, intended to point to the double-byte 
language conversion libraries. That definition of that macro does not 
exist in my RedHat linux system, so it gets passed verbatim into the 
configure script, which causes yet another failure. I modified the 
gdlib-config script to remove that macro.



Hope this helps somebody.


Paul

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Aligning tics at 0

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

to have both '0's aligned, the y2axis range needs to be a scaled yaxis range.
to get the scaling factor you could do a dummy plot in order to set some
internal variables and then use these variables (GPVAL_Y_MIN, GPVAL_Y_MAX,
GPVAL_Y2_MIN, GPVAL_Y2_MAX) to calculate the scaling factor.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Problem: missing dots when converting to pdf

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

it's a problem of the pdf viewing program.
in acrobat reader, if i switch off 'enhance thin lines' then the dots
are nearly invisible and only appear if 'smooth line art' is switched
off too.

for some terminals (eg. postscript. pdf) the dot size can be changed
using the 'linewidth' option:

plot 'mydata' u 1:4 w d lw 5

[Gnuplot-info] Aligning tics at 0

[JacobNR <jn...@ds...>]

Hello all,

Is there a way to align the two y-axes at only one tic, and otherwise set
the axis intervals automatic and independent?

I have a residual plot (from a least squares regression) where I would like
to show the actual and the fittet values on the y1-axis and the residuals on
the y2-axis. The axis interval should be automatic, however, I would like
the 0's on both axis to be aligned. So far I've managed to do it by
adjusting the y2-axis interval. 

Thanks
Jacob

[Gnuplot-info] Problem: missing dots when converting to pdf

[Alejandro L. <all...@ya...>]

Hello,

Eventually I have a problem with my plots, when I use the option "with 
dots". First, I save my plot as a postscript:

set terminal postscript
set output 'plot.eps'
plot 'mydata' u 1:4 w d
set output

Then, I use this last figure for generating documents (I use the command ps2pdf 
to obtain the final pdf file). The problem that I observed (eventually) is that 
when someone else opens the obtained pdf file in windows, those figures are 
empty (i.e., dots do not show up). Those figures look great to me, but I would 
like to be sure that everybody can see them also. Currently, I have Ubuntu 9.04 
in my computer but I used other distributions. 

Can you tell what is my problem? Am I going anything wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.


      

[Gnuplot-info] functions and/or macros and/or substitutions

[<rhu...@ih...>]

In a previous post I was adding the underlying y-values as labels to the
bars.  For some bars that were shorter I want to change the label offset.

I tried some things and none worked, is it possible to change the offset
this way?

poff(t) = sprintf( 'off gr 0,%f',(t < 20000) ? 0.04 : 0.00)

plot 'immigration.dat' using 6:xtic(1) title col, \
'' u 12 ti col, '' u 13 ti col, '' u 14 ti col, \
'' u (($0-1)-0.3):6:6 w labels left rot by -90 offset graph 0,0.02 notitle, \
'' u (($0-1)-0.1):12:12 w labels left rot by -90  poff($12) not, \
'' u (($0-1)+0.1):13:13 w labels left rot by -90 off gr 0,0.02 not, \
'' u (($0-1)+0.3):14:14 w labels left rot by -90 off gr 0,0.02 not

and I tried this 

plot 'immigration.dat' using 6:xtic(1) title col, \
'' u 12 ti col, '' u 13 ti col, '' u 14 ti col, \
'' u (($0-1)-0.3):6:6 w labels left rot by -90 offset graph 0,0.02 notitle, \
'' u (($0-1)-0.1):12:12 w labels left rot by -90  off gr 0,($12 < 20000) ? 0.04 : 0.00)
 not, \
'' u (($0-1)+0.1):13:13 w labels left rot by -90 off gr 0,0.02 not, \
'' u (($0-1)+0.3):14:14 w labels left rot by -90 off gr 0,0.02 not

I also tried macros and substitutions with no success.

in the 1st histogram you use the 1st line in the datafile for titles.
all subsequent histograms use the 1st line as data, that's why the
bars are off by one.

in your plot command, in front of every 'notitle' add 'every ::1'
to skip the 1st line.

[Gnuplot-info] Misaligned xtics in clustered histograms

[Damian P. <dam...@ip...>]

Hello Gnuplot-Experts,

I am having trouble creating a clustered histogram. See the image at
http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/10/plotq.png for an example.

As you can see, for the first batch of bars (named "0") the xtic-labels
are aligned with the bars. In all the other batches ("10", "20" and
"30") the xtic-labels are no longer aligned with the bars. This seems to
be independent of the terminal type (I tried png, ps, windows and wxt so
far). I tried using Gnuplot 4.2 from Debian Lenny as well as WGnuplot
4.4 on Windows 7. I'm attaching the minimal plot- and data-file used to
create the above image to this e-mail.

What is the correct magic to get the xtics aligned with the bars?

Regards,
Damian Philipp

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Basic question: how to plot the data on a bar chart?

[<rhu...@ih...>]

This may help someone else....

$0 = column(0)

is a pseudocolumn

The sequential order of each point within a data set.
The counter starts at 0 and is reset by two sequential blank records.
The shorthand form $0 is available.

Other pseudocolumns are column(-1) and column(-2)
