#Gnuplot from file code#

I took over it's development, the code is almost finished by now, but I guess that Hans now regrets that question already. Hans was wondering why there was no context terminal.

#Gnuplot from file driver#

The module provides an option to select the most appropriate/suitable driver according to the user's choice (metapost, png, pdf, postscript were the firs ones to be supported). In the days to follow Hans Hagen has written a new module (based on my numerous "possible and impossible" requests) and Taco additionally provided some bugfixes and minor changes. Peter Münster posted the very first module for gnuplut support on the mailing list, but that version only worked with bash. I ( Mojca Miklavec) probably mentioned long time ago that I would like to have (or write?) support for Gnuplot inside ConTeXt, but I had no knowledge to do that. The current gnuplot-documentation can be downloaded here.

#Gnuplot from file pdf#

pdf (old), pdf (new): outputs PDF directly for (no preprocessing needed), but is usually not available in most binaries of gnuplot.

png (1), png (2): outputs bitmap images (no preprocessing needed).

ps/postscript: most advanced in the number of supported features.

mp/metapost: uses MPtoPDF to convert images to pdf, but the context terminal should replace it.

You can also override it by sayingīut you have to be careful that you don't set any other terminal with output= then.Ĭurrently supported terminals are (attention: links not from the latest documentation):

options= is optional and is appended to the end of set terminal.

#Gnuplot from file how to#

terminal= is mandatory since that't the only way to tell ConTeXt how to preprocess the file.

After some appropriate preprocessing (with MPtoPDF for this particular case) this file can be included in PDF documents. Will output a metapost document with colors and without dashed lines. Gnuplot support output in different formats with, for example \usemodule \starttext \externalfigure \stoptext Using other terminals

tex file with externalfigure and svg conversion: Set title 'This is a plot of $y = \\sin (x )$' In LMTX we can use externalfigure for gnuplot files like this: \stopGNUPLOTscript \useGNUPLOTgraphic \useGNUPLOTgraphic Example with externalfigure Set format y ' %.1f' \stopGNUPLOTinclusions \startGNUPLOTscript # to prevent uneven numbering: will result in More complex example \usemodule \setupGNUPLOT % terminal=mp if you only have an old gnuplot at hand % general settings for the whole document \startGNUPLOTinclusions # you may use TeX commands to format the titles and axes Set term context standalone size 15cm,10cm header '\usetypescript' font 'iwona,ss' 10dd Here's an example of how to make a stand-alone ConTeXt document with one plot per page: įeel free to contact Mojca in case of problems. The latest version of context terminal is available at. If you want to use the released version, get it from sourceforge and do the same, just skip the. You can use other flags to configure for a different choice of GUI terminals.

#Gnuplot from file install#

configure -prefix=$PWD/inst to avoid cluttering the system and install gnuplot to my personal directory. # unofficial you can also use official cvs If you want to use the version from trunk: If that version is too old, you need to compile your own. The easiest way is to use version 4.6.0 or later shipped by your distribution.

You can fetch binaries from sourceforge (released versions) or from Tatsuro Matsuoka (latest cvs version). To use the ConTeXt terminal (recommended) Windows Please note: if calling gnuplot from cmd works for you, there is no need to do anything extra. (if that was the binary name) and put that file to a "visible place" (has to be found in PATH). In case that the binary has a different name, you could create a file gnuplot.bat with something like: "C:\Program Files\gnuplot\bin\wgnupl32.exe" %* On Windows gnuplot.exe is usually also shipped and you need to make sure that it is in PATH. On most Linux installations this is probably already the case. Gnuplot has to be installed (and in your PATH).in TeX Live you need to have context-gnuplot installed, in ConTeXt Standalone you can install it with -modules=t-gnuplot switch.

Plot sin (x ) \stopGNUPLOTscript % include the resulting graphic into the document \useGNUPLOTgraphic Ĭalling gnuplot to create the graphic and postprocessing should happen automatically. Minimal Example \usemodule % write a script for gnuplot \startGNUPLOTscript
