Dear Daniele,
this will not work without an extra script. Gnuplot cannot do this for you=

AFAIK. Use awk, pearl, whatever to generate an appropriate format.

[Gnuplot-info] Compiling v4.0 : problem with PDF

[SWlab <sw...@co...>]

Hi all,
I try to compile gnuplot 4.0 on a SuSE8.2 box (ix86), and I run in a problem 
with the 'pdf' option:
I just compiled the "PDFlib-Lite-5.0.3" library from pdflib.com, that 
installation went without problems (standard location, ie /usr/local/lib)
The configure of gnuplot goes without troubles, it seems to find pdf-config...
...
checking for pdflib-config... /usr/local/bin/pdflib-config
checking for PDF_get_majorversion in -lpdf... yes
checking pdflib.h usability... yes
checking pdflib.h presence... yes
checking for pdflib.h... yes
checking for PDF_begin_pattern in -lpdf... yes
...

When I run make, the program stalls there:
Making all in tutorial
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/src/gnuplot-4.0.0/tutorial'
../src/gnuplot: error while loading shared libraries: libpdf.so.2: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [eg1.tex] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/src/gnuplot-4.0.0/tutorial'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/src/gnuplot-4.0.0/'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm a bit confused as there are 5 libpdf files in /usr/local/lib:
libpdf.a,libpdf.la,libpdf.so,libpdf.so.2,libpdf.so.2.2.1
libpdf.so.2 seems to be a link to libpdf.so.2.2.1

Any ideas/hints more than welcome
Thanks in advance

Re: [Gnuplot-info] autoscale

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

Dear Kenneth,
I am not 100% sure, but maybe "graph" is your friend.
Try:

set label "A" at graph -0.05,-0.05

this should position your label in relative coordinates (i. e. xmax=3D1.0,=
=20
xmin=3D0, ymax=3D1.0, ymin=3D0) to your graph, even for small(!!!) values o=
f x and=20
y.

Hope this helps,
take care

Re: [Gnuplot-info] plot with error bars

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

Dear Nathan,
please take a look into "help plot errorbars". There you find (gnuplot 4.0):
"... The y error bar is a vertical line plotted from (x, ylow) to (x,
 yhigh). If ydelta is specified instead of ylow and yhigh, ylow =3D y -
 ydelta and yhigh =3D y + ydelta are derived. If there are only two ..."

"... is a vertical line ...". Maybe you can modify the attributes of "line"=
 =20
by saying:
set style line <something>

see set style line. The command does not accept additional parameters like =
the=20
second "with <something>" you used AFAIK.

Hope this helps,
take care

Re: [Gnuplot-info] (no subject)

Hi Steven,
to all my knowledge I would assume that you will have to sort your file=20
yourselv for constant values of charge and then plot your isocharge lines (=
if=20
I got you right).
I see no way to do this within gnuplot (maybe some other guru does?)
Take care & much luck

[Gnuplot-info] plot with error bars

[Nathan M. <nm...@ph...>]

Sorry to post such a stupid question.

Want to plot a set of data in file.dat,
- - - -
 >cat file.dat
#x	y	yerr
1	2	0.2
2	4	0.4
3	6.1	0.5
1.5	3.01	0.1
- - - -
Want to plot this file with errorbars, without lines, pointtyle 7 (the 
round dot)

I think the command should be,
gnuplot> plot "file.dat" with yerrorbars with points pointtype 7
	
why doesn't this work?

[Gnuplot-info] (no subject)

[<er...@ne...>]

  I recently purchased Red-Hat linux and have a dual-boot arrangement with Windows XP. Going through all the Unix commands for the first time,
came upon gnuplot. Question (I emphasize that I did spend some time in the help manual, couldn't readily come up with the answer): is there an easy, or even moderately difficult way to either a) save a plot as an html or tiff file, or redirect it to same (I tried the usual re-direction of the command ('>') and got an error msg.). Can I use the vi editor to read in the graphic (plot) some way? In other words, can these plots be used in text files, e.g.,as part of a paper?

[B.Persson <B.P...@fz...>]

Dear Sir,

I am using the ``smooth acspines'' command to smoothen a curve.
Question: is it possible to store the output as a (x,y) data file
rather than producing a figure (using the ``plot'' command)?
Also, is it possible to get the acspline as a fortran 90 code?
Thank you, yours sincerely, Bo Persson.

[Gnuplot-info] Palette for printing as well as blank&white printer?

[Leonid O. <og...@pr...>]

Dear Collegues,
I use your GNUPLOT for data visualisation and encountered the problem
for preparing of scientific articles. In most journals they require 
black&white figures but modern GNUPLOT present the plots in colours.
The problem can be hardly solved by palette adjustement. Black&white
manner requires lines to be plotted as dashed, solid and so on. 
Can the GNUPLOT do that? May be older versions should be tested?

I tested also
	http://www.gnuplot.info/
	FAQ 
	http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/faq.html

	"3.16 Palette for printing my color map on color as well as blank&white
	printer?
	I think it is this one, for example: set palette rgbformulae -25,-24,-32. 
	Can somebody prove this? "

Unfortunately it does not work...

[Gnuplot-info] no data point in gnuplot 4.0

[Guohan L. <lgu...@ma...>]

hi,
    I use 
    plot [] [0:] "rpt.raw" using 4:7:6:8 with yerrorbars lt -1, "le.raw"
using 4:7 title "RPT" with points lt 1 ps 0.6

    where "le.raw" may be null. My idea is that if  "le.raw" has no
data, gnuplot can simply ignore it and just
plot "rpt.raw", but gnuplot4.0 will error. 
	"le.mf", line 13: no data point found in specified file

    current, I just comment the line in plot2d.c, but I don't think it's
ugly. so, anybody can point to me the 
right way to solve the problem? Thx!
    pls c.c. to me.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] tabbing and coloured lines!

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

Dear Valentino,
regarding the completion you forgot some parameters to the configure script=
=2E=20
My configure looks as follows (and completion is working):
=2E/configure --prefix=3D/usr --mandir=3D$(MAN) \
          --libexecdir=3D/usr/lib \
          --datadir=3D/usr/share/gnuplot \
          --with-gcc \
         --enable-mouse \
         --enable-history-file \
          --with-x --x-includes=3D/usr/X11R6/include \=20
=2D-x-libraries=3D/usr/X11R6/lib \
          --with-readline=3D$(RL) \
          --with-linux-vga \
          --with-png=3D/usr/X11R6/lib \
         --without-lisp-files \
          --with-zlib \
          $(GIF) \
          --enable-rgip \
          --with-plot=3D/usr/lib

I think it is buried somewhere down readline.=20

What regards your second question: i am insure. Take a look into help set=20
terminal postscript. I discovered the color option, but I did not see a way=
=20
for a specific color setting for a specific line.
Much luck,
take care

[Gnuplot-info] Question

[Nicolas B. <ng...@mi...>]

Hi! First, I'd like to congratulate gnuplot developers for such a
versatile program! It's amazingly simple andd useful!

My question (that I couldn't find in the FAQ) is: "How do I store the
output of a "fit" in a  file?, i.e. the fitting parameters, chi2, etc.?

Thanks, Nicolas Busca.

[Gnuplot-info] Poscript terminal: setting colours and linestyle

[Tobias B. <bu...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'd like to plot something as green-solid, green-doted, red-solid, 
red-dotted.
With the X11 driver I can choose the linestyle as 1, 2, ... to change 
the color.
With 'set term post' I can use it to choose solid, dotted, etc.
Using 'set term post color', I can choose between nine different lines, like
red-solid, green-dashed, blue-small-dashed, pink-dotted, 
light-blue-dash-dotted etc.

After the tenth style, the same pattern repeats.

Question: How can one separately choose colour and linepattern?

[Gnuplot-info] pm3d, colorbox placement and size in Gnuplot 4.0

[Harald A. <an...@he...>]

Hi,

somewhere between Version 3.8j patchlevel 0 and 4.0 there was a change
in the defaults for the placement and size of the colorbox for surface
maps.

In version 3.8j the colorbox had the height of the splot and was nicely
aligned with the top and bottom borders, while it is much smaller and
offset in 4.0.  I digged trough the ChangeLog but did not find any hint
where this might have happened.

Example:

> set size square; set pm3d map; splot sin(x)*cos(y)
> show colorbox
        color box with border, DEFAULT line type is drawn at DEFAULT
        position
        color gradient is VERTICAL in the color box
> show pm3d
        pm3d plotted at BOTTOM
        taking scans direction automatically
        subsequent scans with different nb of pts are flushed from BEGIN
        flushing triangles are not drawn
        clipping: all 4 points of the quadrangle in x,y ranges
        pm3d-hidden3d is off
        pm3d style is implicit
        quadrangle color according to averaged 4 corners

in both versions, except for an additional

        surface is transparent for borders, tics and labels

in the older version, which I guess is irrelevant.  However, the
displayed plot and also a produced postscript file differ.

What am I missing?

Cheers,
-ha

[Gnuplot-info] ANNOUNCE: gnuplot-4.0.0 released

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

 GNUPLOT - The Next Generation
 =============================

This is the official release announcement for gnuplot 4.0.0, the first
major version number upgrade of gnuplot in more than a decade.

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
        last modified Thu Apr 15 14:44:22 CEST 2004

It has taken a long time, but the gnuplot developers sincerely hope
the result was worth waiting for.  See below for a list of changes
since the previous release, 3.7 patchlevel 3, also known as 3.7.3.

 THE FAQ
 =======

An updated version of the gnuplot FAQ is available.  It can be found
at the following locations:

http://www.gnuplot.info/faq.html
ftp://ftp.gnuplot.info/pub/gnuplot/faq/faq.txt
All main distribution sites in the faq/ subdirectory.

Volunteers are encouraged to contribute --- the FAQ itself explains
how.

 GNUPLOT AND GIF IMAGES
 ======================

An important note to all who wish to create GIF images with gnuplot:

* Gnuplot requires the gd library from http://www.boutell.com/gd/ to       *
* create gif output.  Note that the use of this code may subject your      *
* organisation to a charge of willful patent infringement (as stated       *
* by UNISYS) unless you are in possession of a UNISYS license.             *
*                                                                          *
* The UNISYS patent covers the LZW technology which is used to create      *
* gifs.  To our knowledge, only gd library version 1.3 and 1.4 are free    * 
* of LZW code and should therefore be used with gnuplot (unless you have   *
* a license from Unisys to use LZW code, in which case version 1.2 and 1.5 *
* is fine, too).  The binaries provided here have been built with version  *
* 1.3.  Version 1.6+ cannot be used because support for GIF has been       *
* removed altogether.                                                      *

The relevant patents will expire relatively soon, but it's quite
unclear right now whether the capability to write GIF files will be
restored to the GD library.

As all GIF-creating versions of gd library seem to have been taken off
www.boutell.com, we are providing gd library versions 1.3 and 1.4 at
the gnuplot distribution sites [1].  Should any legal problems arise,
we will remove this software.

 The PNG image format is a strongly recommended alternative to gif. 
See [2].

 DISTRIBUTION
 ============

By the time you receive this, copies of gnuplot-4.0.0.tar.gz
should be at the official repositories.  Binary versions for
various non-Unix platforms will be made available in the same
places.  Please allow a couple of days for these distributions
to appear.

A diffs file relative to gnuplot-3.7.3 will not be made --- it would
be larger than the source code tarball itself.

All distribution archives are signed with a public key which is
available from public key servers.  For more information, see the
README and PGPKEYS file at the distribution sites.

 What's New
 ==========
 
 The list of changes is immense this time, so only the highlights
 can be given here.  For the full details, see the NEWS file or the
 ChangeLog, or look into the online version of the documentation at
 http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/gnuplot.html#What_is_New_in_Version_4.0
 You'll quite probably have to (re-)read large parts of the 
 documentation to learn all the details that have changed.
 
 Major changes visible to users:
 -------------------------------

 o Global Command syntax change: instead of 'set no...' it's now
   'unset ...'.
 o Commands 'set data style', 'set function style' and 'set linestyle'
   changed to 'set style {data|function|line}, respectively.
 o Colour-coded plots in 3D and simulated 2D through the new 'pm3d'
   plotting style.
 o Boxes drawn by plotstyles 'boxes', 'candlesticks' and boxed errorbar 
   styles can be filled with solid colors or hatch patterns.
 o New plot style 'with filledcurves' to fill an area defined by a curve
   in solid colour.
 o Windows, X11, OS/2 and GGI interactive graphical terminals now support
   interaction with the plot window by mouse and hotkeys.
 o The "enhanced" mode has been generalized from PostScript to some
   other terminal drivers.
 o 'set hidden3d' mode accepts non-grid data and hides them behind gridded
   surfaces plotted with them.
 o Several new terminal drivers: EMF, PDF, SVG, GGI, epslatex, aqua.
 o New function to query if a user-defined variable exists.
 o PNG and JPEG terminals using the GD library support libfreetype to 
   use true-type fonts.
 o 'set label' can output a point symbol the comment refers to, and the
   text itself can be rotated by arbitrary angles (on some terminals).
 o The color of text elements can be changed.
 o 'set size ratio' now affects 3D plots, too.
 o The 'dgrid3d' can be switched between thin-plate splines and 
   the older weighted averaging method, at compile time.
 o Some terminals now support 'koi8-r', ISO-Latin-2 and CP-852 
   encoding of user input.
 o Windows gnuplot recognizes the Unix/X11 style '-persist' option,
   and supports changing linewidth by core gnuplot commands.
 o A native compilation option of gnuplot for Mac OS X is now part of
   the mainline source, using the 'aquaterm' driver [3].
 o Datafile comment character, column separator and decimal sign
   can be changed.
 o Arrows can be drawn with relative coordinates for the head, and the
   heads can be filled.
 o Allows 'set timefmt' independantly for each axis, and supports new
   '%s' format for seconds-since-1970 input.
 o Even more documentation misprints have been fixed, thanks to
   Shigeharu TAKENO
 
 Internal changes:
 -----------------

 o Reorganization of the entire source tree.
 o Broken into considerably more source files than before.
 o Large sets of related global variables have been collected into 
   relatively few global data structures (the 'axis' array and a
   global 'key' data structure, e.g.).
 o The gnuplot_x11 driver no longer is installed in the PATH, to
   avoid confusion about it.
 o Scaling and ticking of time/date axes respects the fact that
   12 and 60 are not the same 10 or 100 much better.

 And, obviously, more bug fixes than could possibly fit into this
 narrow margin...

 THE CONTRIB SECTION
 ===================

 An improved gnuplot mode for X/Emacs by Bruce Ravel available from
 http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/gnuplot-mode/Welcome.html
 has been incorporated into to the gnuplot source tree.

 CREDITS
 =======

 FOOTNOTES
 =========

 [1] The gif terminal driver requires third party software. Because the
     version of gd library currently at http://www.boutell.com/gd/ does
     NOT create gif images, we are providing gd library version 1.3 and 1.4
     at from the gnuplot distribution sites.

 [2] the png terminal driver requires third party software. The png graphics
     library and zlib can be downloaded from
     http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
     and
     http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
     respectively. They are also available from the gnuplot distribution
     sites.

 [3] The aquaterm terminal driver requires third party software.
     AquaTerm and libaquaterm can be downloaded from
     http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net

[Gnuplot-info] differential equations in gnuplot

is there a way of plotting differential equations in gnuplot, ie:

dx/dt=-5x+3y
dy/dt=6x-2y

Ive been looking for hours, but I cant find anything about plotting differentials at all...

[Gnuplot-info] syntax error: unexpected end of file

[<dbu...@ec...>]

Hi,

I am Daniel Burbano, and have the following problem:

I am making a bash program which calls gnuplot to plot diferent data files
I want to call gnuplot many times from different options by different
ways, but I put EOF, or when I use the EOF inside a if, the program get an
error, the error appear in the line 72 (the last line), but there is
nothing there.

What is the problem?

line 72: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This is the program:

if [ $op -eq "1" ]; then
        gnuplot -persist << EOF
        plot " many files" using 1:2 with linespoints
        pause -1
        EOF
fi

if [ $op -eq "2" ]; then
        bash stuffs ....
        gnuplot -persist << EOF
        gnuplot stuffs ....
        set terminal x11
        plot "<more $PATH_FILES$PREFIX*" using $3:($4/$3) with linespoints
        pause -1
        EOF
fi

Hi,

I have a question about the gnuplot capabilities of drawing labels.
I would like to set labels on my x and y axes as strings and not as 
numbers for each datapoint. Is that possible to do?

Thanks,

Andrey
