[Gnuplot-info] abort/continue plotting on error

[seb_kramm <seb...@ya...>]

Hello,

Currently, when chaining different plot commands in a script, it seems that gnuplot 
aborts when encountering a error (unreadable data file, in my case).

Is there any way to tell gnuplot not to abort and to move on to the next 'plot' 
command ? I searched the manual but found nothing about error handling.

I use 4.6 on Ubuntu.

The situation is as follows: I have many plots to draw from many computer-generated 
data files. The script file is itself generated. Now, some data files are ill formed 
or non-existent, due to some experimental error (say, the program that generates the 
data crashes).
But I would like to have the plots for all the other datafiles.

I could manually edit the generated script file and remove the "bad" plot commands, 
but this will be tedious (I have many of these).

Thanks for any advice on the best way to handle this.
