Re: errorbar plot won't work

Dear Mr. Eaton,
I re-compiled the recent version 2.9.13 but the problem was not fixed. This time I ran the same code, the terminal was redirected to gnuplot and a lot of error messages happened like this:

gnuplot> plot "-" using ($1):($2):($3):($4) title "" with yerrorbars linestyle 1  lw 
0.500000 ;
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ^
         line 10: duplicated or contradicting arguments in plot options

         line 10: invalid command

         line 10: invalid command


gnuplot> e
                       ^
         line 10: invalid command


I believe the problem is not the same as version 2.9.12. I'm using gnuplot 4.0 and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
 
Still I'm trying to make it. Thank you all the same.

Cong.

This problem seems to be fixed in 2.9.13.
