Gnuplot is the plotting package we have most readily available and easiest to use. A few details then a few questions: DETAILS * version 1.1.0 runs on a microvax running 4.3bsd * this version has 16 set term options * version 1.2.1 runs on a sun 3/280 running 4.2 release 3.5 * this version has 4 set term options QUESTIONS 1) Why does the more recent version have fewer set term options? 2) On the sun some of the examples from the manual core dump, however the same examples work fine on the microvax. Is this because of the different versions or because of the different hardware? (I know the sun doen't handle null pointers which the microvax does) 3) What is the current version of gnuplot? Does gnuplot now belong to FSF? 4) Is it possible to remove the scaling information from the bottom right hand cornor (It gets in the way of some plots)? If so how? Any info/opinions on gnuplot are welcomed. Also, does anyone know of any other pd plotting/graphic packages? Opinion and info encouraged Thanks, Lydia Reed Tech Consult UNS Computing Services lydia@uns-helios.nevada.edu lydia@unsvax.bitnet
