[Gnuplot-info] Gnuplot in the batch mode

[Martin J. <mar...@ya...>]

Hello,

in order to be able to call Gnuplot from any program to diplay data I tried
the following simple model case at the command line:

>wgnuplot commandfile.txt

The file commandfile.txt contains the following single line:

plot sin(x)

The window containing the plot of sin(x) appeared for a fraction of a second
and disappeared. So I changed the contents of the file commandfile.txt to
the following two lines:

plot sin(x)
pause 10

The window with the sin(x) plot appears for 10 seconds and disappears.
During its display the window is frozen. I would like to snatch it, resize
it, move it around and keep it as long as I want to until I hit the upper
right corner. I cannot, it is frozen and it has a predetermined lifetime.

The idea would be to indicate the data file and prescribe whatever is to
happen with the data in the command file.

I run Windows 2000.

Can someone help?

Regards,

Martin

pause -1 works !!!

Thank you very much, Dieter !

Now I can move and resize the graphics window and click it away when I have
seen enough.

There's an option /noend  you can give :

wgnuplot /noend commandfile.txt

- oh - seems you can also spell it -noend or  -persist these days.

It doesn't work quite the same as the x11 -persist option, but the
effect is similar. The plot window stays open, but you also get the
interactive window, with a prompt.


Interestingly,

 wgnuplot commandfile.txt -

seems to work *better*, because the plot window stays up, but you
don't get the interactive window in this case. Closing the plot window
kills the whole process.
