I've been a long time user of gnuplot and I think it's a wonderful
package.  Almost the only graphing package I use.  However, one thing
that has annoyed me lately is setting the size of the plot.  I use
latex, epsf, and ps output mostly.  The problem is that each output
device has some default output size which is incredibly hard to
remember.  Having the 'set size' command specify scaling is no help if
you don't remember the original sizes.

There HAS to be a better solution.  Some possiblities:

	1.  Have "set size" set the actual graph size.
	2.  Set the default size for all outputs to be the same.
	3.  Have some way of inquiring the output size so it can
		be changed inside a script as appropriate.

Any other ideas?  I like 1 or 3 myself.

On a similar line, sometimes I'd like to get square output so that
circles come out as circles, not ellipses, and squares are square, not
rectangles.  I know you can do this by scaling the plot size
appropriately, but, of course, that changes with the output device.
However, as I understand it, the scaling is for the whole plot
including space for the title, the labels, and the tics.  This is
probably also a function of the output device.  

It would be nice if there were some way of specifying square plots.
One interim solution is to document somewhere exactly how much space
is used by each part of the graph so that I can compute what the
scaling should be to get square plots.  Certainly better than nothing.

Any suggestions on this?

From a user's viewpoint, these are very nice features to have.
I'd much rather have these done than being able to read binary files
or doing data computations inside gnuplot.

Anyway, just some random thoughts.  Thanks for listening (or not as
the case may be)!

Ray

P.S.  Does anyone use the pstricks terminal driver posted a while ago?
I'm just curious how people like it.  No news is good news, eh!?!

Hi: I am looking for a X based or Motif based windowing

the idea of clicking on options such as line style, line

Subject: Axis labels and xrange
Date: 7 Jan 93 13:50:27 GMT
Organization: GE Corporate R&D Center

When plotting a function with an xrange of [3:24], gnuplot draws a
graph with the x-axis basically running from 3 to 24.  The tic marks,
however, go from 5 to 20 in steps of 5.  Here's a simple picture:


   oooooooo
   |                                    |
   |--|---------|---------|---------|---|
      5        10        15        20

Thus, left and right edge of
the plot have no tic marks.  From an ergonomic viewpoint, I think this
is very bad.  It's virtually impossible to eyeball what the starting
and ending values are.  Here's a simple picture of what I want to see:


           ooooooooo
   |                                                 |
   |---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
   0         5        10        15        20        25


Setting xtics doesn't help, as the documents say, because it gets
clipped by xrange.  

There should be some way of doing this.  Graphs look much better when
they start and end with axis labels.

Subject: wanted: best driver for BJ-10e
Date: 6 Jan 93 16:40:54 GMT
Organization: University of Wisconsin, Madison -- Computer Sciences Dept.

I am using GNUPLOT 2.0 on an IBM-PC clone and trying to get the best
possible print-outs of graphs on my Canon BJ-10e printer.  The BJ-10e
has two control modes - the IBM Proprinter X24E emulation mode and the
Canon BJ-10e control mode.  I have been using the Proprinter mode.
The only two printer drivers that I've had any success with are the
"epson_60dpi" and "tandy_60dpi" (which I believe are effectively
identical drivers when compiled for the PC).  I have tried numerous other
drivers included in the 2.0 release, all resulting in various forms
of garbage.  In particular, I was expecting the "epson_lx800" to work
for me, as "set term" says it supports PROPRINTER.

Since the BJ-10e has a maximum resolution of 360dpi, I would very much
like to do better than the 60dpi I am currently printing.  Any help
along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure, but I seem to remember some comments that splot data
processing worked as expected in parametric mode only.  Hopefully someone
else will clarify this.

However, any function (z=f(x,y)) that you want to plot can easily be
written in parametric mode (z=x(t),y(t)).  The translation is simple.

Consider splot cos(x)/sin(y), in parametric mode, this would be 
u,v,cos(u)/sin(v).  In other words, you have x(u,v),y(v,v),z(u,v) as
three independent tuples to define a single relation.  Functions are
special cases of the more general parametric relations and map
as follows: f(x,y) = u,v,f(u,v).  In other words, there is no such
thing as a "non-parametric function."

In reviewing this, I guess it should be in the FAQ.  I believe, but
am not sure, that 3d data files are of two forms--and the most natural
form is where each (x,y,z) column is considered independent of the
others.  Possibly this is why you must specify parametric mode.  I'm
not sure what the non-parametric data file plotting mode means.  Someone
should post a follow-up and add it to the FAQ as well.

PS How's the FAQ coming along these days?

I have a HP Deskjet 500 and a cheap Epson clone and  have never been 
happy with the gnuplot drivers for either printer. Instead I use the
postscript driver and write the output to a file. Then I use 
ghostscript (a freeware postscript interpreter) to convert the postscript 
file to the relevant printer. Ghostscript I know has a driver for the 
Canon BJ10e but I don't know how good it is.

If you need any more details, let me know.

I had no trouble porting gnuplot to Linux. Mainly because on 
many of the linux sites, a gnuplot distribution may be found.
I now have it running under linux/X and have run a precompiled 
binary quite happily with just VGA.

Check tsx.mit.edu in the linux directories under graphics
for the straight VGA binary, I havent seen the X binary, but
it compiled out of the box with just a redifinition of a couple
of libs in the makefile (it's been a
while since I did this.)

One feature of gnuplot under linux, is that it runs a *lot*
faster than the DOS version (using VGA graphics).

Sure. 
Some people replied that `set zero <small number>' would enable me

But if the number is smaller than 1e-50 or so, gnuplot absolutely 
regards it as 0.

I think this will be the only way to plot a sequence of small numbers.

I'm having problems with long file names. Gnuplot says:
gnuplot>  plot 'long_file_name_w_full_path' w p
               ^
         can't open data file
         (No such file or directory)

but 'ls -l long_file_name_w_full_path' says

-rw-r--r--  1 mccauley     3824 Jan 12 14:10 long_file_name_w_full_path

Using 'wc', the filename appears to be 91 characters long.
I don't have source handy, but is there a built in limit?

How about something like a 'set sizetype' command that takes on values
'relative' and 'absolute'?

       On an HP 720 running HPUX 8.07 and gnuplot 3.2 
        G N U P L O T
        unix version 3.2 
        patchlevel 2, Mar 24 92
        last modified Sat Mar 24 21:08:47 PST 1992

       with an HP LJIII attached to the serial port, and a postscript
cartridge (3rd party, not HP), I see the following problem.

       If I use :

       set term postscript landscape

       The plot prints correctly.

       If I use :

       set term postscript protrait

       the plot does rotate, but does not rescale ( ie: if landscape is
11x8.5 , then the rotated plot prints on 11x8.5 not 8.5x11). Therefore
the right side gets truncated. How can this be done ??

       I can provide more details if required.

	Many thanks for your help.  

	Also: I sent mail to  bug-gnuplot@ames.arc.nasa.gov and it bounced.
	Is this not correct??
