Here is an example of use. I am looking for an approximation of some data, the abscissas of the maximum of a function that Maple and Macsyma could not handle. ---------------------- % gnuplot > set samples 1000 > set dummy p > # "points.x" contains 980 points generated by a FORTRAN prog > # The x values range from 2 to 100 and the y values from 1 to 150 > plot [2:100] [0:200] "points.x" with lines, 2 * p + 3, 2 * p + 7 > # Print this on the laser printer > # load "qms" is a shorthand for: > set term postscript > set output '/tmp/gnuplot.ps' > replot > set output > set term apollo > ! prf /tmp/gnuplot.ps -d -transparent -pr qms800 ------------------ I got GNUPLOT v1.1 from a tape made at Carleton University in 1988 under AEGIS 9.7, but v2.0 is in labrea.stanford.edu: pub/gnu 292564 Apr 16 1990 gnuplot2.0.tar.Z But i dunno if this is working on an APOLLO at SR10.1. If you are using stats, there is also xlispstat working under X11. > Subject: Re: XLISP-STAT on APOLLOS? > Date: Mon, 21 May 90 > From: Luke Tierney > > no port to the native Apollo graphics system has been done.
