So, documentation says that we can add latex preamble with tikz terminal as *preamble "<preamble string>".* But this actually does not work, it fails with /usr/share/gnuplot/6.1/lua/gnuplot-tikz.lua:1773: bad argument #1 to 'load' (function expected, got string) Instead of *preamble "<preamble string>" *one should use *preamble '<preamble string>' *(single quotes vs double quotes). I'm not sure if its bug or it's wrong documentation.

Remember that inside double quotes backslash is an escape character,
so your command needs to be
set term tikz standalone preamble "\\usepackage{derivative}"
This has nothing to do with tikz. It is the usual difference between string
handling in single vs double quotes.

Hi Ethan,
set term tikz standalone preamble "\\usepackage{derivative}"
Does not work either, fails with the same error.

I don't know what to say. It works here.
Is it possible that your file /usr/share/gnuplot/6.1/lua/gnuplot-tikz.lua
is not current? It should be
pgf.REVISION = "120"
pgf.REVISION_DATE = "2024/10/14 16:17:00"
Although gnuplot_5.4 works for me also, and the lua file for that is from 2020.
So maybe corrupt rather than out of date?
I can't really think what else to check.

Hi Ethan,
it turns out that my gnuplot picked up old version of lua. Rebuilding
with newer lua solved the problem.
Thanks!
