Ever needed to tweak a gnuplot script and got annoyed by constantly changing the script file, run gnuplot and display the resulting image?

The gnuplot editor generates a preview of the plot for every change you make and quickly allows to show the created image file with a simple keystroke. Lines with errors are highlighted in the code and gnuplot output is shown in a separate widget.
In addition it features all basic editor options, syntax highlighting and menu macros for often used gnuplot options.

The program is written in python (works with 2 and 3) with a Qt4 user interface, which makes it platform independent (tested in Linux, OS X 10.7 and Windows XP).

You must have gnuplot installed to run this program. The debian package was build with Ubuntu 12.10.

Features

  • QScintilla based editor with syntax highlighting
  • Automatic and user triggered prevew
  • Plot image and display in editor
  • Macro menus for often used commands including user defined macros
  • Ignore selected lines, display lines with errors
  • Pick color from dialog, use mouse to capture position

User Reviews

  • 1) in Windows "insert template" inserts linux/Unix filename, "line 15: set output "/tmp/test.png" ^ cannot open file; output not changed util.c: No such file or directory" 2) and inserts "png" data in "console" - this may cause memory "eat" problems and other binary-data-in-text-window bugs. 3)Presents new version of gnuplot (5.0.1) - with save-to-file key in graph window. 4)Requared very-very moore illustrated variants in "insert template" 5)Requared includes simple data editor - for templates with points from file
