All, I have always create plot files for running gnuplot, instead of running from within gnuplot. e.g.: $ gnuplot -p plotveloc.plt where plotveloc.plt contains plot \ "vmag.txt" using 1:3 title 'velocity y' instead of running from the gnuplot> prompt, e.g.: $ gnuplot gnuplot> plot "vmag.txt" using 1:3 title 'velocity y' gnuplot> q $ I have always had the ability to zoom, scale, toggle-ruler, etc. in the persistent window. Now for some reason, it is like all communication with gnuplot is gone when using a persistent window. It is fine when running from the 'gnuplot>' prompt. Has anyone else seen this? Any fix? What to check? This is with the standard Version 4.6 patchlevel 3 from the OSS repo (maybe update). -- David C.
