Mike, I think that you are probably referring to the ISO Programmers Imaging
Kernel (PIKS) standard. This was an ANSI X3H3 document before ISO picked it up.

The PIKS standard contains three parts; one is the IPI, a second is an
architecture overview, and the third an API definition. My copy is about three
inches thick, most of the volume being the API definition.

Currently the document is at the draft international standard stage, so I am
not sure if you can get a copy except from one of the people involved.

If you want more info, drop me a note offline at the e-mail address above.

Hi gnuplot experts:
	How to plot more than one plot on the same page.
As of now my entire screen is occupied by one display. If I need to plat
two plots on the same page does is resize it automatically or I need to
do anything. I am using gnuplot 3.2 on tektronix terminal. I am planning
to offer the same in X term.
Help is highly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post (and believe me, there were
plenty.  There were two general solutions, the easy and the hard:

(1) The hard way is to modify the makefile and comment out all of the plot
commands, including "lplot" and "-DUNIXPLOT."  Because gnuplot is fairly
useless using Unix plot (especially since I have X), you don't need this
terminal.

(2) The easy way: it's already been ported to Linux.  Download it off 
of sunsite.unc.edu.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

        Hellow!
I am a newer gnuplot user and I  have just joined the mailing list.
I  use gnuplot with latex driver. When I change the size
of the plot, the size of the figures on the xy-axis remain constatnt.
 It is very uggly to have a large plot with small figures.
Is there any way to have large figures on the axis.

Your version is really antique!

The actual number is 3.2. Version 3.3 is in the beta phase!

Try some postings here to find out ftpsites for the actual version.

Hi,

I've compiled and been running gnuplot 2.0 patchlevel 2 and like it
.. I've made some modifications so I can do some more extensive
manipulations and calculations on data files for plotting.
Anyway, I thought I'd mention that there is a bug in plotting
parametric functions: if you
set parametric
set logscale y
plot t, 10**t

it is clear that the plot isn't quite right: the bug is in command.c
where the log_y needs to be replaced to distinguish parametric and regular
plots. Replacing log_y by yislog in function eval_plots with
				    if (parametric)
				      if (xparam)
				        yislog = log_x;
				      else
				        yislog = log_y;
				    else
				      yislog = log_y;

fixes it. The first log_y at the top of eval_plots remains unchanged.

Finally, do I have the most recent version? (Version 2.0, patchlevel 2.0)

Thanks,
Tom Broekaert.

Everything was compiling nicely until I got to the very end.  The Makefile

Does anyone know what directive I should use?  Please reply by e-mail.

John McGrath's email address (ext_adm!jmcgrath@uunet.uu.net) is
totally inaccessible to me, so I post.

In ANSI C, "FLT_MAX" is #define-d in <float.h>.  Sun's "cc" compiler,
headers and libraries are not ANSI, they're an adaptation of BSD
(Berkeley) unix's C.

Watch out for sscanf (it uses ungetc, and so cannot read a constant
string), and for sprintf and vsprintf (they do _not_ return the int
number of characters written, they return a "char *" which is normally
to be cast to a "void", and ignored ! ).

There are a number of even less savory qualities to Sun's "cc",
including the -O optimizer, floating point bugs, and I suspect some
tricky machinations in fprintf's or fscanf's return values when
dealing with (8-bit ?) character I/O.

gcc 2.2.2 on the Sun has some of the same peculiarities, even though
gcc is supposed to be ANSI C.

Hello.

I have got a copy of the gnuplot sources and compiled them with a slightly
modified version of the makefile.tc and linkopt.tc & linkopt.tco files.
The modifications were essentially to reflect that the compiler specific
stuff resides in d:\bc and not c:\tc directories.

Everything compiles nicely, and the executable runs well, except for one
think (as far as I can tell).  splot is broken.  At first, I thought that
I was not using it correctly, but I tried the files in the demo directory
and got the same result, which is namely:
         floating poing error: domain
gnuplot gets as far as putting the line label in the corner and then dies.

Has anyone seen this happen, or did I do something wrong?
Any thoughts, suggestions, mystic incantations, or divine interventions are
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have gnuplot 3.2 running on HP 9000/720 with HP-UX 8.07.

If I compile with -O and then try "set terminal hpljii nnn" with nnn
any valid value, it gets "Floating exception (core dumped)."

Maybe a bug:  If I try "set view 90,0" "splot 'f' u 3:4:5" it gets
"Floating exception (core dumped)."

A Comment:  It would be helpful if plot, splot and replot would
"top" the plot window when plotting using x11.

I found it in win3/uploads but that was a while ago.

  The problem is that the .rle file is a 24bit color file, one byte each
for red, green and blue, while .gif is a 256 colors only, or 8bit file.
You need to quantize the .rle file down to only 256 colors.

  Use to8, mcut or rlequant.  If you have the pbmplus package, you can also
convert to ppm format with rletoppm and then use ppmquant.

Well, for starters, read the documentation that comes with cshow, the true
gif viewer.  It tells you that it's pronounced "Jif" as in the peanut butter.
Which one did you think it was ;-)
