Re: How to know when gnuplot is finished

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Andy,

It is actually easier to let gnuplot do more of the work. The next two lines
tell it to use postscript, and to send the result directly to the printer
spooler:

        gset terminal postscript
        gset output "|lpr"

In fact, what I use is a simple function 'replotps.m' which has the two lines
above plus the lines

        replot
        
        gset terminal x11
        gset output

That way, I can interactively work on a graph. Once I like it, this function
redirects the output to the printer, replots the graphs and resets the
defaults of X11 graphics.

Hope that helps, Dirk
