[MUMmer-help] problem with mummerplot / gnuplot

[Adriaan V. <Adr...@UG...>]

Hi all,

I am aligning genomes with MUMmer installed on Cygwin, running on my Windows 64 bit laptop. The NUCmer and delta-filter steps work fine, but I run into problems when I try to run mummerplot. Regardless of the options I use (--png, default), I get the following errors:

gnuplot 5.0 patchlevel 0
Writing filtered delta file out.filter
Reading delta file out.delta.m
Writing plot files out.fplot, out.rplot
Writing gnuplot script out.gp
Rendering plot out.png

set mouse clipboardformat "[%.0f, %.0f]"
          ^
"out.gp", line 27: wrong option

WARNING: Unable to run 'gnuplot out.gp',

This seems like it could be more a gnuplot error than a mummerplot error, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Does anyone know how I could resolve this?

Kind regards
Adriaan
