Re: svg terminal is unsupported in djgpp gnuplot 4.2.2 (Sorry again)

Hi

Sorry my careless writing mail again.
Please ignore the previous one.
**************
My previous mail is lack of care.
Excure me for that.
>I somtimes use djgpp gnuplot 4.2.2 because it is light and
> it accepts pipe completely unlike pgnuplot+wgnuplot. 

I do not want to say pgnuplot is meaningless.
It is a very important tool for realizing pipe in the windows environments.

However, its potential is limited. For examle, I cannot the output result from the pipe.
I wrote the successive plots C program using pipe.
Because the pipe realized by pgnuplot is only forwarding the command and I could not get the any
information of gnuplot message from the pipe.  This prevented me to judge whether plot was done or not
from pipe. I instead wrote a dummy file making code like "set out 'dummy'; set out"  after plot
command in the gnuplot script and waited for dummy file made by while loop in C code.

If I colud get message of gnuplot from the pipe, 
the program should be more simple and comprehensive.

What I would like to say is the followings:

The combination of the pgnuplot and the wgnuplot does not equal to the console mode gnuplot from the
view point of the pipe operation.  That fact should be described in the help or some documents in the
gnuplot.


Because I did not know the fact, I was confused.  After I read the code of pgnuplot, I realized the
fact. After that I wrote the tricky code to overcome the problem.
However the fact is written in the gnuplot documents.  Perhaps I did not confused.
I did write from the first the code using dummy file.


My hope is only, it is documented, no further modifications of wgnuplot are desired.

Regards

Tatsuro
