Re: [Gnuplot-info] gnuplot on LINUX redhat 9

[Ghoddousi-Fard, R. <c4...@un...>]

How can I find that I have X11 in my LINUX?
Could you please  explain  how can I installing the binary RPM?

When I eg.  try
set term  tgif
plot sin(x)

i get lines like this:


.....
poly('black',5,[
        119,648,971,648,971,70,119,70,119,648],0,2,1,70,0,0,0,0,8,3,0,[
]).




Thanks
Reza
