Talk:Gnuplot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"It is also possible to write gnuplot scripts which, when executed, generate a plot. For an example script, see logarithmic spiral."

We aren't really supposed to have self-references, and the article itself has no information about gnuplot. We should link to gnuplot examples or something. Besides, there are other good things in the Image: space that were made with gnuplot. Hmmm... - Omegatron 18:09, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DFSG freeness

gnuplot is in Debian main, so it's DFSG-free.

[edit] Typical usage

The example image shows one of those fancy 3-D mathematical plots, but isn't it true that gnuplot is typically used for 2-D plotting data sets from file? That's how I use it anyway — visualizing huge sets of network statistics. If so, I think the article should reflect that usage somehow. JöG 22:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The lowercase notice

Can't get the "lowercase|title=gnuplot" to show--I hate to register 17:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy And Paste?

Is it possible to copy and Paste into GNUPLOT? --134.155.99.42 02:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

works for me. Arnero (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Output driver

As of 2007 I noticed very bad quality of all, but the eps output for 2d plot. Do not know about splot. Doesn't help that gnuplot won't optionally include a preview image. Arnero (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
