Hello, I have been bothered by some editing problems when using gnuplot, and come here asking for help. They could be because of my system setting, but let me check with this forum first. (1) the home/end/delete key does not work, they give 0F, 0H,3~,2~ for home, end, delete, insert key respectively. My laptop is lenovo x61s, these keys are distributed on a separate panel from the main keyboard. I don't know whether this is the issue, if the case, how to deal with it. (2) when the input line is too long, it will break to the next line. Then the editing on the previous line would be a problem --- the cursor cannot reach the above line. This is very annoying! Is this a common problem, or just me meet with this? Anybody has any idea towards this? BTW, the version of gnuplot used is Version 4.2 patchlevel 2. The operation system is Ubuntu 8.04. Thanks, |

Hello I am not a unix user but use the cygwin sometimes. But I have not met such situation. I'm using the rxvt on as a terminal and using gnuplot 4.5 (cvs) built by myself. The gnuplot binary is built myself. I feel that the origin of your trouble does not lie on the gnuplot. However, I do not have enough knowledge for unix so that there is no proof that my assumption is right. At least there is not editing problem on the cygwin (windows software but terminal interface is almost the same as that of the linux. ) Regards Tatsuro --- wrote: > Hello, > > I have been bothered by some editing problems when using gnuplot, and come > here asking for help.

Thanks for your response. I didn't met with the similar problem with cygwin neither. That's why I said it could be a system problem. But I don't know how to deal with this in gnuplot. Taken an example similar, there could be editing issues with vi editor. But they can be fixed using a configuration file accompanying vi. I don't know whether there exists a similar setting to gnuplot as well in order to customerize the input environment.

If you build yourself, did you build with the GNU readline, or the BSD editline, or builtin readline routine ? If your gnuplot build with the readline or editline, try to build it with ./configure --with-readline=builtin. If that makes editing correct, perhaps your the readline or the editline library has a problem. If you are using the gnuplot from the distribution, it is better ask at the forum or the ML on the distribution.

I personally am not familiar with building a binary version of any software, so I never tried that. If it can be built this way to fix the problem, I will give it a try. But a direct link to the steps on how to do that is preferred, Thanks, Sincerely, John > If you build yourself, did you build with the GNU readline, or the BSD > editline, or builtin readline > routine ? > > If your gnuplot build with the readline or editline, try to build it with > ./configure --with-readline=builtin. > > If that makes editing correct, perhaps your the readline or the editline > library has a problem. > > If you are using the gnuplot from the distribution, it is better ask at the > forum or the ML on the > distribution. > > Regards > > Tatsuro > > -------------------------------------- > GyaO! - Anime, Dramas, Movies, and Music videos [FREE] > http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/gyao/ > |

In the case, the inquiry for the application from the cygwin site is done on the cygwin ML not but the application site. I recommend you to ask the ubuntu site on this matter. Ubuntu Forums > The Ubuntu Forum Community > Main Support Categories > General Help http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 An example for inquiry of gnuplot: gnuplot help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1196501 Regards Tatsuro -------------------------------------- GyaO! - Anime, Dramas, Movies, and Music videos [FREE] http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/gyao/ |

The operation > system is Ubuntu 8.04. /usr/share/doc/gnuplot-nox/README.Debian <quote> libreadline ----------- Yes, the built in readline of gnuplot is bad. However, libreadline cannot be used instead because it is licensed under the GPL, whereas gnuplot has special licenses (patches only). Distribution of those programs linked together is legally impossible but you may rebuild your own custom package with readline. Please don't file bugs telling me to use libreadline in gnuplot... </quote> It seems that newer packages use another readline library: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnuplot-x11 Package: gnuplot-x11 (4.2.6-1) [universe] libedit2 (>= 2.5.cvs.20010821-1) BSD editline and history libraries -- Maxim Nikulin |
