Re: gnuplot error

[Robert Fong-tom]

Hi Carlo,
I did not have a .bashrc file in my home directory. So I created one  
and added the line, but I am still plotting in AquaTerm. I did not  
know before this that there was a difference between plotting in X11  
and AquaTerm, but I gather from googling that plotting under X11  
gives the capability to  zoom and to rotate 3-D plots with the mouse.  
This I like and would really like have this capability. Any other  
ideas on how to accomplish this?
