[Gnuplot-info] Gnuplot Book: Finally (finally!) in print!

[Philipp K. J. <ja...@ie...>]

After what at times seemed like an interminable
delay, the Gnuplot book is finally available in 
printed form!

This means that anybody who pre-ordered the 
book should by now already have their copy or
receive it within the next few days.

I wanted to thank all of you who contributed 
questions and comments, or pointed out errors in 
the draft version of the manuscript. It really made 
a difference!

More details are available on the publisher's site:
	www.manning.com/janert

and the book is available from any bookseller,
including Amazon:
	http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1933988398

I wanted to thank everyone for their patience and
also wanted to apologize again for the delay. I hope 
you will find that it was worth it.

Best,

		Ph.

[Gnuplot-info] Interactive plot manipulation

[CLOSE D. <Dav...@us...>]

Is there a way to allow interactive plot manipulation without going into
interactive command mode? This is in an X11 environment (on Linux).

If I write, "gnuplot file -", the commands in file are executed and,
since they include a plot command, a plot window appears. I can then
interact with that plot window to scale it or select a portion for
closer examination. When I type "q", the plot window closes but the
gnuplot command interface is still active. I must then also type "exit"
(or ^D) to terminate the program.

If I write, "gnuplot file", the commands in file are executed and the
plot window briefly appears. But it immediately closes and the program
terminates.

What I want to accomplish is a mixture of the two results. I want the
plot window to stay open until I type "q", but when I do I also want the
entire program to end automatically. Is that possible?
