[Gnuplot-info] Problems with the display

[Mauricio F. <mau...@gm...>]

Hello:

I am trying to use gnuplot in cygwin, in my windows, and I am currently
having a problem. I ssh into cygwin in the following way:

ssh -X user@address

and then, I type:

gnuplot.

And I get a command prompt that looks like this:

gnuplot>

So I type in:

plot x

And the computer does nothing, it just shows a new command prompt line like
this:

gnuplot>

So I basically came up with the conclusion that my cygwin does not have a
display screen or something, is that right? Did I make any mistake in my use
of gnuplot? Do you know how can I get the display to be shown in my
computer?

Thanks,

Are you aware that for this to work, you need X11 on both ends of your 
connection?  I.e. an active X server running on the machine on which you 
run the above command, and X11 libraries, along with an X11-enabled 
gnuplot on the machine you connect to (called "address" above)?

And what did it say in the opening message, directly above the screen? 
What was the terminal set to: "Unknown", by any chance?  What do you get for

	echo $DISPLAY

on both sides of the connection?

Probably not.  But your use of 'ssh -X' might be wrong.  Do _any_ other 
X11 clients (like 'xclock') work from inside that ssh -X session?
