[Gnuplot-info] stop popping up plots from command line

[Florian K. <flo...@tu...>]

Hi folks!

I'm interfacing gnuplot through a python program : I' m Calculating
distances and plot them via Gnuplot --- for a great Data amount .

While plotting the Data, Gnuplot suddenly interrupts plotting (and
executing  my program) -- with an open shell or a left plot on the
screen -- although I close every plot after plotting.

Is there any possibility to avoid the plot-open plot-close plot
procedure? I only would like to save my Data to Disk without having any
popup.

my code:


max_y = 1.0        #Energy between 0 and 100 %
    min_y = 0.0
    counter = 0
    for feat_list in clustered_feat_spots:
       
        ### Settings 4 one probe cluster
        name_for_saving =
output_name+str(counter)+"_for_every_probe"+".png"   
        place_2_save_4_feat =
path_2_write_curves_4_every_feat+name_for_saving
        #### Range 4 plot
        counter = counter +1
       
        nr_spots= len(feat_list)
        min_x = 0
        max_x = (nr_spots)+1   ##adding 2 because i for i does not count
last one!
       
        x_string = 'set xrange'+'['+str(min_x)+':'+str(max_x)+']'
        y_string = 'set yrange'+'['+str(min_y)+':'+str(max_y)+']'
       
        ###Data 4 plotting
        x_val_pre =[i for i in range (max_x)]
        x_val      = x_val_pre[1:]   
        y_val     = feat_list

        ###Plot Details
        g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(persist=1)
        g.title(name_for_saving)
       
        g('set data style linespoints')
        g('set pointsize 2')
        g('set grid')
        g.xlabel("spots in tolerance radius")   
        g.ylabel("rel. Energy")   
        g(x_string)
        g(y_string)
        ##d = Gnuplot.Data(x,y,title='squared', with='lp lt 1 pt 7')
Example for different colors!
        d = Gnuplot.Data(x_val,y_val, with=color_plot)
        g.plot(d)
        g.hardcopy(place_2_save_4_feat, terminal='png')   
   
        g.reset()


Thanks alot!

Florian

Then you'll have to check the documentation of gnuplot.py about 
interactive vs. direct-to-file outputs.  Suffice it to say that 
"hardcopy" probably shouldn't be a command you use:

This plots the data to the screen first, then outputs it to a file. 
That's not what you want, so don't do that.

Hi I haven't found a documentation touching this topic and I have to use
the "plot" command. Without doing so I only receive empty Documents.

Tanks!

Do you mean your plot is displayed in the screen?
If so, you may change the terminal, i.e., png or other
graphic formats. I prefer to use postscript or pdf
terminal. PNG or other bitmapped graphics are to bad
for producing a reports.

You just put a simple command, i.e.,

set terminal postscript
set output "name_of_output.ps"

plot ....

Hi!

With popping up I mean the plot appearing on the screen and then
immediately  to be closed --> so you can see  the plots  flashing  on
the screen - I tried
        g.plot(d)
        g.hardcopy(place_2_save_4_feat)   

with ps it seems to work better - but it still fails sometimes -  what
can I chose for other output formats which may increase my performance?

Thanks!

Florian
