Re: Strange interaction between epslatex and wxt???

I made a mistake when pasting the gnuplot
session in the previous email. The problem is
NOT a missing "replot" command. Let me try
again - as you can see the problem is specific
to a plot to wxt preceding the plot to epslatex.
It does not happen when plotting to X11 first.
===================================
Bad Session:
Terminal type set to 'wxt'
gnuplot> plot sin(x)
gnuplot> set t epslatex standalone
Terminal type set to 'epslatex'
Options are ' leveldefault monochrome blacktext \
dashed dashlength 1.0 linewidth 1.0 butt \
palfuncparam 2000,0.003 \
noheader "" 11 '
gnuplot> set o "broken.tex"
gnuplot> replot
gnuplot> exit
