[opensuse] gnuplot -p plotfile.plt (no zoom, scale, etc.) no communication with persistent window??
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.

I have the same version running on os 13.1. When you say "like all communication", do you mean from the mouse to gnuplot or gnuplot keyboard to the window or both? Serafino -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I mean partially from both. When I run with 'gnuplot -p plotfile.plt', pressing rt-button (drag) rt-button (click) does not 'zoom'. pressing 'h' does not output help to the terminal, clicking on any of the toolbar tools does nothing e.g. ['Replot', 'Show Grid', 'Previous zoom', 'Next zoom', 'Autoscale'] It is like it has lost its terminal context. (which makes some sense, but it has always worked before) But running from the gnuplot> prompt -- everything works. Try it on the two attached files. Test (1) $ gnuplot -p vmag.plt (try and turn grid on/off, zoom, etc. -- doesn't work) Test (2) $ gnuplot gnuplot> plot "vmag.txt" using 1:3 title 'velocity y', "vmag.txt" using 1:5 title 'velocity' (try the same -- it works) I recall it working regardless of how the plot was created, but I can't think of what change would have caused any difference in behavior now. attached: vmag.plt - plot file vmag.txt - data file -- David C.

Try it on the two attached files.
Test (1)
$ gnuplot -p vmag.plt
(try and turn grid on/off, zoom, etc. -- doesn't work)
Test (2)
$ gnuplot gnuplot> plot "vmag.txt" using 1:3 title 'velocity y', "vmag.txt" using 1:5 title 'velocity'
(try the same -- it works)
I recall it working regardless of how the plot was created, but I can't think of what change would have caused any difference in behavior now.

Thanks for the files. I tried them and seem to get the same results as you. In my plot files I usually put a pause command right after the plot command. I inserted it into your plot file and it seems to work with and without the -p. <code> plot \ ".vmag.txt" using 1:3 title 'velocity y', \ ".vmag.txt" using 1:5 title 'velocity' pause -1 "Press enter to continue or quit" </code> This is the first time I've seen gnuplot using the qt window. It looks nicer than the X11 window. Thanks. Serafino -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
