[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot set term problem

[James P. <jam...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with gnuplot using another piece of software called fastx.

 I installed gnuplot version  
4.4.2.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8, g++ v4.0.1


fastq_quality_boxplot_graph.sh -i stats_3 -t  R43s_3_sequence_Ax28H.fastq -o boxplot_3

gnuplot> set term png size 2048,768
                  ^
         line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set  terminal' for a list


gnuplot> plot 'stats_3' using 1:7:11:12:9 with candlesticks lt 1  lw 1  
title 'Quartiles' whiskerbars,       ''         using 1:8:8:8:8 with  
candlesticks lt -1 lw 2 title 'Medians'
              ^
         line 0: use 'set term' to set terminal type first


Hope you can help. James

Installed --- how?

The error message is pretty clear, isn't it?  The version of gnuplot 
you're running doesn't have the PNG terminal driver.  So either you have 
to choose a different output format, or install gnuplot such that it has 
a PNG driver.
