[Gnuplot-info] Help on plot command

[<MMc...@ao...>]

Hello!

Have just spent two hours trying to get one simple x,y point to plot. Have 
not succeeded. Tried help but am not able to see where I enter two simple points 
to plot. The  help file is not written in simple terms. Examples would be 
helpful. If you would please tell me how to put simple points on the graph. You 
may have a good product but if the average user cannot use it; it is not useful.

Thanks,

Marty

We'll need a better description of the problem you're having with this 
than "it doesn't work".  Start by describing what does happen, and why 
you believe that's not what should have happened.

> or does my Xdefaults contain some errors?

It does describe rather a lot of resources that gnuplot doesn't know 
anything about.  At least according to the documentation, only line 
types up to number 8 are controllable by resources.

Are you sure you need to build to build gnuplot from sources, yourself?

And that you don't want the much better GD library based PNG driver
instead of the minimal one you'll get with only libpng and zlib?

As to the error itself: that's an error in the configure script, which 
nobody noticed because it doesn't strike the majority of installations
(GD-based, on Linux, using pre-installed shared libraries for libpng and 
all that).

AW: Re: AW: Re: [Gnuplot-info] custom borderstyles in histograms

[Daniel G. <li...@da...>]

Here is a simple example for this problem:


set style line 1 lt 1 lc rgb "blue" lw 1
set style fill solid 0.2
plot sin(x) with boxes linestyle 1

produces boxes with no border, but blue border is expected.

set style line 1 lt 1 lc rgb "blue" lw 1
set style fill empty
plot sin(x) with boxes linestyle 1

produces boxes with background color, i.e. nothing can be seen.

Regards, Daniel.

[Gnuplot-info] horizontal alignment of keys

[Daniel G. <li...@da...>]

Hello,

I have a multiplot with layout 2,2. Every diagram has the same legend. So I want to display the keys centered at the bottom of the multiplot. The positioning is no problem, but the keys are drawn as a sequence of lines, I want to have them on one line (one key after the other). This only works with the below keyword, but then positioning does not work anymore. 

Can I enforce the 'one line' keys??

Regards,
Daniel.

No, I need 'BHR' as a key for specific lines.

I also tried a blue one, there is no line, I verified this by :
plot "Pen100-VBI-10.out" using 1:2 "BHR %lf %lf %lf %lf %lf" title "VBI10" =
=20
linestyle 1 with boxes fill empty

Then I see nothing. I also tried 'solid 0.1' where the difference is=20
significant, but I only have the fill and no borderline 8-(

As an aside:

   plot "Pen100-VBI-10.out" using 2:3 title "VBI10"  \
         linestyle 1 with boxes

would probably be sufficient ;-)

Are you sure you would be able to make out a yellow border line around 
an 80% yellow box on white background, especially if unlike your 
linestyle 1, it won't be output in triple width?  I suggest you try
"set style fill solid .8 border 1" to really see the difference.

OK, an example.

#define linestyle 1
set style line 1 lt 2 lc rgb "yellow" lw 3
# define fill style for histograms
set style fill solid 0.8

Now I want to plot a histogram with my defined yellow borderlines. I Assume that the following

plot "Pen100-VBI-10.out" using 1:2 "BHR %lf %lf %lf %lf %lf" title "VBI10"  linestyle 1 with boxes

will plot me histograms with yellow borderlines and filled with 80% yellow. Well, the fill is correct, but I have no borderlines. How can I show the borderlines?

Daniel.

Define your own fill styles, too, in parallel with your own line styles.

linetypes are what the terminal actually supports, line styles are 
combinations of various drawing options (line type & width, point type 
and size, ...) you define yourself, as shorthand so you don't have to 
repeat long sets of options in an already rather long 'plot' command.

Whoever built that gnuplot (the distributor or you) didn't have X11 
development packages installed.  Fix that, rebuild gnuplot, retry.
Or, if you built your own gnuplot from sources, consider just using the 
binary package instead.  If you did install a binary package, and it 
behaves like this, complain to the maker of that package.

[Gnuplot-info] custom borderstyles in histograms

[Daniel G. <li...@da...>]

Hello,

I am using gnuplot 4.1 (CVS a few weeks ago).

I defined my own set of linestyles, because I do not like the standard ones. In order to be consistent my histograms should use the same linestyles (the same colors). How can I do this?

with boxes fill solid 0.5 linestyle 1: draws a box with the color from my linestyle but no border

with boxes fill solid 0.5 border 1: draws a box with linetype 1, but this is not the one I defined (I wonder why there are styles and types, whats the difference)

Regards,
Daniel.

[Gnuplot-info] restoring a lost gnuplot 4.0

Gentlemen,

Some of my computer files erased themselves (one of the joys of the =

Went to the gnuplot site to download 4.0, downloaded 4.0.0 tar.gz, and =
4.0 tar. zip.  When I try to extract them, a hall of mirrors develops =

Nothing I can see, except you obviously didn't follow the instruction

Without a self-contained example that reproduces this behaviour, it's 
hard to give specific advice, but by far the most probable reason for
this is that the silliness of identical points is not at all gnuplot's
doing, but is already present in the data file you handed to gnuplot.

Please note that it's hardly ever a good idea to send hundreds of 
thousands of points to plot a single curve in gnuplot --- your output 
device will have that many points on its x axis, anyway, so they'll just 
end up as lots of duplicates, just as in the snippet above.

Of course it doesn't.  epslatex generates *two* files.  One is EPS,
the other is LaTeX.  Please do read 'help epslatex' to see how to use 
this driver correctly.

[Tammo H. <Pu...@Ta...>]

Tak:

I actually meant to gnuplot-plot file you use to generate your graph.
This might help me and others to diagnose your problem.
Do you plot multiple graphs?
If you don't plot point but rather lines, does the problem still occur?

[Gnuplot-info] problems installing gnuplot

[<v....@co...>]

Hi,

I'm very new to all of this stuff, so please excuse me if this is considered a dumb question for those who are veterans of the open source world...

I am trying to install gnuplot on OS X 10.3. I already installed AquaTerm (from the .dmg file I downloaded from the web) and X11 (from the Mac OS X - XCode Tools CD). However, hen I attempt to run the gnuplot.pkg installation file, i get the following message:

"gnuplot cannot be installed on this computer. X11 is required to install this version of gnuplot. Install it from your Mac OS 10.3 install CD. If you are running 10.0 - 10.2.8, get X11 from e.g. http://www.xfree86.org

If you do have X11 installed, please file a bug report at http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net"

What have I done wrong???

Thanks,
Vanessa

Strange --- the code does something, since at least around version 4.0.
Could be a coincidence, i.e. it was already in the same shape usually 
created by 'set size ratio -1'.

The <xscale> and <yscale> parameters of 'set size' act on the 2D paper 
coordinate system, not on 3D at all.  The reason they appear to work the 
way they are is that the 3D-->2D projection set up by gnuplot always 
keeps the z axis vertical.

As I said before: you'll probably have to artificially set the x and y 
ranges to equal spans to make 'set size ratio -1' do something useful.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried ratio -1. That has no effect.
I did some more experimenting with set size and found that
'set size 1,0.5' makes the Z axis half-size, not Y. Apparently
for a 3D plot the second number refers to the Z axis and the
first is applied to both X and Y. 'set size 0.5,1' makes both
X and Y half-size while leaving Z its normal length.
I tried 'set size 1,0.5,1' but gnuplot complains about the
third number.

Please let me know if you have any further suggestions.

Richard

'set size ratio -1', however, should do something even in 3D.

You may have to manually set the x and y axes to equal ranges in 
addition to it.
