Re: [Gnuplot-info] decimalsign and postscript output

[S <ste...@gm...>]

Hello,

is there nobody who can help me with my problem?

I attach two files to this e-mail, which are output from the script from
my last e-mail. They are supposed to show the same graph, just that the
second one (works_only_in_x11.ps") doesn't show anything. The x11 replot
(_after_ "unset out") shows the correct graph.

Does the script from my last e-mail work with anyone elses version of
gnuplot with correct output? (mine is Version 4.2 patchlevel 0
last modified March 2007 System: Linux 2.6.22-14-generic from ubuntu
repositories)


Thanks,

Stephan

P.S.: again, the minimal script and a sample file.txt for trying out

############script.gp###########
set term postscript eps

#first file: truncated values, since decimalsign ist "." by default
set out "truncated.ps"
plot "file.txt" w lp

#second file: still truncated values, despite "set decimalsign ","
set decimalsign ","
show decimalsign

set out "still_truncated.ps"
replot

#third file and x11: now file is read correctly (see x11 output)
#but postscript output is unreadable
set decimalsign locale "de_DE@euro"
show decimalsign

set out "works_only_in_x11.ps"
replot

unset out
set term x11
replot
pause -1
