It was recently posted to comp.sources.misc, heres part 0 of 13. I've been using (older versions) for several months. My typical exec version includes both the IRIS (shared GL) and Postscript (encapsulated) drivers. I preview the plot interactively, set the output to postscript, and "replot" to generate hardcopy. Works great! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article 590 of comp.sources.misc: Path: odin!shinobu!sgi!decwrl!uunet!allbery From: thaw@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU@pixar.UUCP (Tom Williams) Newsgroups: comp.sources.misc Subject: v11i065: Gnuplot 2.0 - 0 of 14 Message-ID: <82358@uunet.UU.NET> Date: 26 Mar 90 00:10:02 GMT Sender: allbery@uunet.UU.NET Organization: Pixar -- Marin County, California Lines: 38 Approved: allbery@uunet.UU.NET (Brandon S. Allbery - comp.sources.misc) Posting-number: Volume 11, Issue 65 Submitted-by: thaw@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU@pixar.UUCP (Tom Williams) Archive-name: gnuplot2/part00 --- CUT HERE --- #!/bin/sh # This is a shell file to make directories mkdir term demo bugtest docs docs/latextut translate exit --- CUT HERE --- Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility for UNIX, MSDOS, and VMS platforms. The software is free. It was originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Additions to this version of the software allow production of publication quality plots and data graphs. Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers and is easily extensible to include new devices. [ The "GNU" in Gnuplot has nothing to do with the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a coincidence (and a long story). ] Gnuplot Features: Cartesian and Polar plots. Logscale graphs. Intelligent Tic spacing. Optional Autoscaling. Support for complex numbers. VMS-like online help. User-definable functions and variables. All the builtin functions C, FORTRAN, and BASIC provide. All the unary and binary operators supported by C, and more. MANY formatting features, such as labels, grids, and arrows. Support for Saving and Loading work in progress. Command line substitution. And lots more.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are my diffs for the Makefile (the only changes I had to make): 22c22 < CFLAGS = -DGAMMA -O --- > CFLAGS = -DVFORK -DBCOPY -DBZERO -DGAMMA #-gx #-O 52,55c52,55 < #TERMFLAGS = -Iterm -DAED -DBITGRAPH -DDXY800A -DEPSON -DHP2648 \ < # -DHP26 -DHP75 -DHPGL -DHPLJET -DIMAGEN -DKERMIT -DLATEX -DEEPIC \ < # -DPOSTSCRIPT -DPROPRINTER -DQMS -DREGIS -DSELANAR -DTEK \ < # -DUNIXPLOT -DV384 --- > TERMFLAGS = -Iterm -DAED -DBITGRAPH -DDXY800A -DEPSON -DHP2648 \ > -DHP26 -DHP75 -DHPGL -DHPLJET -DIMAGEN -DKERMIT -DLATEX -DEEPIC \ > -DPOSTSCRIPT -DPROPRINTER -DQMS -DREGIS -DSELANAR -DTEK \ > -DUNIXPLOT -DV384 57,58d56 < TERMFLAGS = -Iterm -DIRIS4D -DPOSTSCRIPT < 106c104 < LIBS = -lm -lgl_s --- > LIBS = -lm -lplot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hope that helps, Jim --- James M.
