Re: [Gnuplot-info] call gnuplot from c++ (windows)

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello
If you use gnuplot 4.4, use gnuplot instead of pgnuplot.
The gnuplot.exe is console program so that it can be treated the same as that in the linux.  The pgnuplot is only for backward compatibility in gnuplot 4.4. distribution.
