[Gnuplot-info] automake trouble version 3.8.k.1

[Denis P. <de...@es...>]

Hello everybody,

Some pb with my new Mandrake 10.0 linux box (kernel 2.6.3)

here you will find the result of ./prepare command,
automake & autoconf seems to be the good version :

[Gnuplot-info] Check out gnuplot 4.0 release candidate #1

[Hans-Bernhard B. <br...@ph...>]

I'm proud to announce the availability of the first release candidate
for the upcoming new gnuplot version 4.0 --- the first major version
number increase in over a decade.  The actual release date is not
quite fixed yet, but we're aiming at somewhere around beginning of
April, maybe earlier.  Here's the URL (sorry for the long line...)

  http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2055&package_id=66525

Always pick the most current version you see on that page (currently
3.8k patchlevel 1, a.k.a. "3.8k.1").

We would like to encourage everybody with a vested interest in gnuplot
to get this new version and give it a test ride.  In other words,
we're calling for a beta-test by the broader public.  And that means:
you.

You may have seen various 3.8 versions of gnuplot mentioned in its
newsgroup and elsewhere.  That version has been developed over the
course of several years, in parallel to the previous public release
3.7.  It contains a ton of new features, several new terminal drivers,
quite some changes to the command script syntax, and some large-scale
changes to the internal code structure to make it more maintainable.
For a list of new features, see the NEWS file that comes with the
program.

The 3.8 branch has been used mostly by ourselves and some others on a
regular basis for quite a while now.  As far as we know, there are no
show-stopping bugs in it right now, but that may be because we didn't
look in the right places.

That's where all you out there come in.  In order to assure that the
upcoming release is of as a high quality as we can manage, it's
important that as many of you as possible test this new version in
your own ways, and check that it doesn't break spectacularly.  If
there's a bug in it that makes this version unusable, we'ld like to
here about it _now_, rather than 3 hours after we released version 4.0
to the general public.

So, if you would like to get an early look at what 4.0 will be, point
your browser at the URL above and give it a try.  So far, we only have
a source tarball available there.  Binary packages for selected
platforms will be added as they become available.  Linux users should
have no problem compiling it themselves...

Thanks in advance, and have fun with the future.

Marek,

thanks for your reply. I ended up doing exactly that now. It's still 
sort of strange that gnuplot can't do that directly with variable 
values.

[Gnuplot-info] using variable values in legends

[Nicolas B. <nb...@la...>]

Hi,

I would like to use the actual values of fitting variables in my 
legends. I can't figure out how that would work though. Naively I would 
expect that something like the following would do the job:

f (x) = a + b * x + c * x**2
fit f (x) 'test.dat' via a, b, c

plot 'test.dat' title 'data', \
	f (x) title 'f (x) = $a + $b * x + $c * x**2'

so that ${a,b,c} will be replaced in the actual title with their 
respective values. Is it possible at all to print variable values 
instead of their names? I can't find anything in the documentation 
files and an online search didn't reveal anything either.

	Thanks already, nick

[Gnuplot-info] Query

[Vardhman J. <var...@st...>]

Hi all,
	I am new entrant to this list. I and my friend were trying to 
start a project for "3D-plotting from Octave" this would basically make an 
opengl model sort-of for the plot, so that it can be viewed from any direction, we can later think of adding other properties like 
lighting if they are found useful. I would like to know if any such 
project is already underway.
	Any suggestion for this project are also welcome.
vardhman

[Gnuplot-info] to emebed or not that is the question?

[kemal a. <as...@cl...>]

I am building a small dll, on windows with vc6.0,but i need now some 
plotting library to display functions y=myf1(x) and surfaces
z=myf2(x,y). i was thinking of scripting gnuplot at first were my
library would create some input files then i wound from my library
start  the gnuplot executable and run the input files. is that the best
way? or should i embed some gnuplot stuff directly into my dll,that
would force my entire project to be free/opensource, but i am ok with
that a long as i get something that works for me.This dll is just a
small tool that i need to do my work better,it is extending a bigger
application. i won't mind sharing the dll tool if it becomes free too.
please let me know  any idea /pointers are welcome.
Maybe i am going totaly the wrong way, so please help.
Thanks,
Kemal

[Gnuplot-info] Crash of the 3.7.3 Windows version

[<Die...@t-...>]

Dear listmembers,
using Win2000 gnuplot 3.7.3 (don't tell me that I should switch OS, home is home
and work is work) I recently found a crash occuring when plotting a large file
that does not take place when using the old 3.7.1 windows version (both using
the same parameter and the same data file).
Because I am reluctant to sending megabytes of data into the blind, here are my
questions:
1.) should I send the plot- and the datafile to the list? Is there maybe some
private address I could send it to to avoid huge traffic?
2.) is this propably a known issue?
3.) would it help to simply send other information?
Any inputs are highly appreciated,
take care
