I am using gnuplot on a OSX 10.4. (granted I usually place all my graphics in LaTex but unfortunately I need to do this one in WORD) I recognize that when I import the eps files to WORD there is no preview file in the eps gnuplot file and the figure will appear upon printing to a postscript printer. Again unfortunately, my fellow colleagues, first see this as a WORD error and after explaining it to them they want it fixed so they don't have to print out the document everytime. I have been trying to use the epstool utility app, but when I run a "epstool --test-eps *.eps *_out.eps" it indicates: PostScript appears well behaved. File claims to be EPS. FAIL: File does not comply with EPS specification. Failed I have tried to use several other options (such as gs), but the error seems to originate from the gnuplot term postscript. How does one make the export from gnuplot comply within EPS specifications? I thought once a file is eps it should be "univerisal" in some sense? Normally my term is set to: set term poscript eps enhanced, but I have also tried, set term postscript enhanced and convert the files (gs again) to eps, but I receive the same errors when I try to attach the preview file with epstool. I have read at the other forums, google groups, that OMniGraffle is another option, but it seems like epstool shoud be the quick route. Something seems to wrong from the eps output from gnuplot????

My apologies, I was attempting to save line space.

This sequence doesn't make terribly much sense. The first "plot" output goes to your gnuplot session's standard output. Then you change the output to a disk file (whose name is illegal as stated, but I'll take it the actual name doesn't have a '*' in it), and recreate the same output to that file. So you create *two* PostScript outputs --- why? If what you really wanted is to create an EPS file, the recommended procedure would be set .... # all your settings here... set term postscript eps enhanced set output "~/foo.eps" plot ..... set output If you actually wanted the EPS to go to the standard output stream, drop both "set output" commands. For the meaning of "set output", please see the documentation. You don't really need the "save" command unless you want to record the exact circumstances of the plot for posterity. The 'quit' isn't needed either. |

Great, it works now. For the journal I am trying to submit to, they have a graphics checker to verify the submitted graphics are in a valid form. It indicates that I need to embed the fonts (times-roman) into the eps file. When I change the command: set term eps enhanced font "Times-Roman,22" to set term eps enhanced font "Times-Roman,22" fontfile '/sw/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmr8a.pfb' running the identical and successful eps output previously now results in a EPSTOOL failure: epstool --test-eps Fig1_TGA.eps DSC Warning At line 1870: %%EndProlog %%BeginProcSet: / %%EndProcSet The number of Begin and End comments do not match. 'OK' or 'Cancel' will ignore this mismatch.

I am a relatively new to gnuplot, but typically this is how I export my files: set term postscript eps enhanced plot ..... set output "~/*.eps" replot save "~/.gnu" quit Is there something incorrect with this procedure? You have to "set output" without a filename argument for that. <- I don't understand this comment?
