gnuplot not working

gnuplot not working

[John Devereux]

Hi all,

Is there a problem with gnuplot? I get an error with the minimal example
on the wiki. I think the generated .plt file has an error; it works if I
manually delete the "fontscale 1" bit and run context on
test-gnuplot-1.tmp.

Using latest beta, tried with current official gnuplot as well as
mojca-patched version.

Thanks,

John


======================================================================
test-gnuplot-1.plt:

# Do not modify this file - all changes will be overwritten
# Change test.tex instead.
set terminal context size 5in,3in fontscale 1 
load 'test-gnuplot-inclusions.tmp'
set output "test-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex"
load 'test-gnuplot-1.tmp'

======================================================================
text.tex:

\usemodule[gnuplot]

% write a script for gnuplot
\startGNUPLOTscript[sin]
   plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript

% include the resulting graphic into the document
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin]

Which version of Gnuplot did you use / how did you compile it / with
which sources? If you used the one from modules.contextgarden.net for
windows, that was a bad idea (and my bad that I forgot to remove it
from there) since I haven't updated it for a while.

I changed textscale to fontscale on gnuplot developers' request in
February 2011.

Gnuplot 4.6.0 already includes the context terminal, so it might be
the best idea to try with official gnuplot binary (or sources).

\usemodule[gnuplot]

\startGNUPLOTscript[sin]
   plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin]

Confirmed with context version: 2012.04.10 19:46
and gnuplot 4.7 patchlevel 0.

Hi Mojca,

Sorry, I should have said I am running on linux. I compiled the official
gnuplot 4.6

jd@devereux:~$ gnuplot

It does seem to be running this version. I found the generated tex file:

Oh, indeed. It seems that a recent change in ConTeXt core broke
functionality of the module (the version I tested on earlier worked
fine).

I'm not sure if I know where to start digging for the problem. There
are some more experienced developers here, but I can try. (Though I
take all the blame on me for not adapting the module to MKIV yet.)

You’re mixing counter mechanism in the module.

You define a new counter with

  \newcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber

and later you reset it with

  \setcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber\zerocount

Both commands are from different mechanism where the \setcounter is from \makecounter is was removed in MkIV because the internal commands for \definenumber have changed to \definecounter, \incrementcounter, \setcounter etc.

To reset a \newcounter command you can write \newcounter\… (or \doglobal\newcounter\…).

Can you please update and try again?

Wolfgang suggested to replace \setcounter with \newcounter.

Hi Mojca,

That seems to work for me - thanks!
