I am trying to use gnuplot with OSX 10.8.2, and see x11 is an ambiguous or unknown terminal type
. A bit of research shows x11
is not supported, and I download XQartz
, but I still get the same error message.
I edit .bash_profile with export GNUTERM = 'x11'
then try ln -sf /Application/Utilities/XQuartz.app/ X11.app
as suggested here
But still the same error message.
What else can I try to plot my gnuplot
files (both on my laptop and from a server)?
Thank you.
Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for Linux, OS/2, MS Windows, OSX, VMS, and many other platforms.
QT-package. Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven interactive data and function plotting utility that supports lots of output formats, including drivers for many printers, (La)TeX, (x)fig, Postscript, and so on. Data files and self-defined functions can be manipulated by the internal C-like language.
To run GNUPlot, you simply open a terminal, type “gnuplot” and hit enter. This will launch the software tool so you are ready to set your variables and start plotting.
The problem was resolved by rebuilding Gnuplot after I installed XQuartz.
