Hi,
The latest version (3.2) has "hidden3d" which hides lines in mesh
plots nicely. As far as I can tell, 3.0 does not have this feature.
good luck

Hi, I'm new to this newsgroup so please don't flame me if this is a

you to specify a font for a single character or substring in a text
string? (e.g., Symbol font for units, etc.) I'm also looking for a way
to do sub- and superscripting without directly editing the PostScript

thought I'd check first, in case someone has already done this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, everyone.

  I am not sure this is related to Mr. Wang's posting about min and mix values
of contour plot.

  Here is mine:
  Is it possible to control the contour plot on the z axis so that only certain
range of z values can be displayed on the contour plot?  For example, I have
both negative and positive z values on the surface and I want to only display
those negative contours and screen out positive ones. I didn't see this kind of
plot in gnuplot 3.2 demos.  I tried *set noautoscale z* and changed zrange but
contour plot I got look same as before.  Any suggestion and help.

Thanks.

The documentation for errorbars says that in order to get lines through

file twice (once with errorbars, once with lines) I get two entries

Do not run `gnuplot_x11' directly.  Run `gnuplot' with "set term X11".
When you plot, it will call gnuplot_x11.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have asked my boss-node to get the file from
your server, `cause my domain still got handshake probs. I will have a look
at contour splines, but if there is stub code necessary, I think the
routines I have written will be shorter than the stub. Apart from some
problems with the 'bezier' style, 3.1m runs perfectly on MS-DOS machines.
The problem is domain errors reported by the Turbo-C runtime system during
operation. Since I do not own an MS-DOS machine it might take long to find
that bug. Beyond that I blame it on the compiler, for the SAS/C code on the
Amiga runs without any problems.

Bjarne,
	The cr/lf characters are missing because Unix does not user the 
cr/lf sequence to separate lines. If you had uncompressed and untared the 
files on a Unix system then transfered them in text mode to a PC you would
have had no problems. Alternately there are several wordprocessors, text
editors and utilities that will convert Unix style line termination to 
MS-DOS style line termination.

The problem you reported is not actually caused by overflowing the data
segment, but rather by overflowing the automatic data segment. The 
automatic data segment contains DGROUP physical segment, local heap,
and the stack.

Segments are limited to 64K size under windows. 

A number of strategies have been employed to reduce the problems you 
encountered: 1. Constant strings were moved into the data segment and 
only pointers to the strings retained in the Automatic Data Segment;
2. The size of the stack and heap were carefully calculated to enable
gnuplot to operate. 

Please note that in relation to (2) the development was carried out under
the command line compiler supplied with Borland C++ 3.1, other versions
of the compiler or other compilers, or simply changing libraries, may 
change the size of the DGROUP and hence require the changing of the size
of the stack and the local heap.

In conclusion, Bjarne found a limitation in the Borland C++ MS-Windows
combination, that was made worse by our attempts to squeeze as much 
stack space as possible out of the program.

Newsgroups: comp.graphics.gnuplot
Dear authors of Gnuplot, 

congratulations to your excellent package, that I like very much to use for 
quick visual analysis of data. 

I installed Gnuplot, version 3.2 on a VAXstation 3100 running VMS 5.4 and 
DECwindows. Everything works fine except support of the terminal types "x11" and 
"X11". To my opinion the reason is, that the VMS C-library contains no function 
"select.h" at all. So even when I set the "CRIPPLED_SELECT" flag gnuplot cannot 
open an additional window for displaying graphics on an X-Terminal. Is there a 
way to get around this limitation? (For what purpose is the "select.h" function 
necessary?)

Looking forward to your ideas

This was with gnuplot 3.2 on an HP 9000/730. Is it me or is it you?

Help set cntrparam gives the choices as linear, cubicspline, bsplice,

Summary: X11 driver problem with point and dot colours
Organization: U of Cambridge, England
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 08:53:04 GMT

  Hello all, I'm extremely happy with gnuplot 3.2 on SPARC and PC.
I have a minor problem, which I'm not X-literate enough to fix.  It
seems that dots and points *always* come out in colour 1 (red) in my
X11 plots ... this doesn't happen with the PC version.  Any thoughts?

   While I'm at it, here's my wish list ...
   (Many of these have been mentioned by others--I'll mark them *)

   Ability to use column 0 (line numbers) with 'errorbars' directive
   Line breaks in text in drivers besides Imagen, EEPIC, LaTeX?
   Multiple plots out of a single session -- I've been using the
       "-fork" mode patch that someone sent in, but a "holdplot"
       variable to produce multiple plots per session would be lovely
       (obviously this would be restricted to X11 or other windows)
  *Orderless syntax -- e.g. being able to put "with" before "using"
  *Ability automatically to plot all the columns in a file as
       y-variates, with the first column as the x-variate.  I imagine
       that an `mplot' directive ("mplot `foo.dat' using 1:(2,4,5)"?)
       might be a good way to do this ...
   Slightly improved 3-D grids and face grids -- i.e., being able to
       draw the box around the data.
  *Ability to put columns of data into variables and do *simple*
       operations (the functions that are already built into gnuplot)
       on them ... e.g. "j = read `foo.dat'", "plot j", "plot log(j)".
     I realize that this suggestion comes close to the argument that
       gnuplot is a plotting tool and not a data analysis tool, but
       some small amount of support for this kind of work would be
       nice.

  Given enough time I may try to hack some of these myself, but it
could take a while ...
  Thanks to all who have contributed to gnuplot.

Gnuplot with x11 (like any X application) needs to know the name of your
display, either from the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display
gnuplot command line option. For example, something like

      gnuplot -display spso.gsfc.nasa.gov:0

If you've never used the DISPLAY environment variable or -display command 
option for any X application, ask an X user at your site for help.

Subject: info on gnuplot + X11 under VMS
Newsgroups: comp.graphics.gnuplot
Hello,
I FTPed gnuplot3338p2p10 from ames and I am trying to install it under
VMS with X11 window. I compiled gnuplot but now, despite all our attempts,
we do not understand how to use it with X11. We discovered that 
running gnuplot_x11 opens an X11 window, then I run gnuplot, set term to 
X11 and I get only error messages.
Can anybody there be so kind to give us some hints?
Thanks!

Include a "set terminal" command.  For example,
	set terminal postscript
