gnuplot in ConTeXt

gnuplot in ConTeXt

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear all,

I have installed gnuplot and others(aqua term, x11).
I tested the minimal sample file in ConTeXt Wiki.
In the wiki page, there is a command like

\startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin}
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTgraphics

but there is an error message like

l.6 \startGNUPLOTgraphics
                          {sin}
? x

If I changed \startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin} to \startGNUPLOTgraphic{sin},  
then the error is disappeared but the output showed only texts but  
not graph. Only a grey box is appeared.

Would you please show me an example in detail?

Thank you for reading.

Hi,

The ConTeXt term is now in development.
You have *at least* two or three alternatives (with one prefered but in
dev):
- use postscript term and include the resulting graphics with externalfigure
- use mp term and process the MP buffer with metafun
- last but not least, use directly the context terminal...

For this one, you have to:
- compile and install gnuplot from source by adding context.trm in
gnuplot/term/ and adding context.trm to term.h (if you are on linux,
else on windows you can use the wiki's patched binary gnuplot
http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot/bin/)
- get mp-gnuplot.mp and t-gnuplot.tex and copy these two files into your
current document directory
- use \usemodule[t-gnuplot] to bypass the gnuplot module distributed
with the ConTeXt release

Then, you can try:
\usemodule[t-gnuplot]

\starttext
\startGNUPLOTscript{abc}
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript

\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc]
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc][width=\textwidth]
\stoptext

If you have any questions...

Cheers,

Renaud
