Depending on what you are using gnuplot for, this might cause issues. For example, if using an interactive desktop via SouthPass, using say plot sin(x) will fail. The terminal needs to be set to use x11. There are two ways to do this:
Option 01: From the gnuplot command line:
| Code Block |
|---|
gnuplot> show t
terminal type is qt 0 font "Sans,9"
gnuplot> set term x11
Terminal type is now 'x11'
Options are ' nopersist enhanced'
gnuplot> show t
terminal type is x11 nopersist enhanced |
Option 02: Create a .gnuplot file in your home folder, containing:
| Code Block |
|---|
[salexan5@blog1 ~]$ cat .gnuplot
set term x11 |
then when you start gnuplot:
| Code Block |
|---|
[salexan5@blog1 ~]$ gnuplot
...
Terminal type is now 'qt'
gnuplot> show t
terminal type is x11 nopersist enhanced |
