- SOME NOTES ON GNUPLOT ON THE AMIGA ...
-
-
-
- Environment Variables:
-
- GNUFONT You can say "setenv GNUFONT <Fontname>/<Pointsize>" to get the font
- of your liking on the screen, e.g. "setenv GNUFONT sapphire/14".
- Otherwise gnuplot will select the default-font you chose with
- "Preferences".
-
- GNUHELP Allows you to define a pathname for the GNUPlot help file. For
- example, "setenv GNUHELP TEX:gnuplot.gih"
-
- GNUPLOT Your current directory is searched for the file ".gnuplot".
- If you say "setenv GNUPLOT <Path>" (without the filename!)
- GNUPlot will look for it there.
-
- GNUTERM You can define a default driver with "setenv GNUTERM <driver>".
- A good choice is "setenv GNUTERM amiga" :^)
-
- SHELL If you don't like "NewShell" as your shell, you can say
- "setenv SHELL <Shell>".
-
-
- Stack Size:
-
- Set your stack to at least 20000 and you'll be fine (I hope).
- If you're using the integral feature, a stack size of at least 70000
- is necessary (at least it is for "bivariat.demo" to execute).
-

-
- -------------------------- LATTICE C VERSION ------------------------------
-
-
- Default paths/directories:
-
- Gnuplot looks for the file "gnuplot.gih" in your "S:"-directory unless you
- specify the full pathname including the filename via "setenv GNUHELP".
-
-
- Bugs/deficiencies:
-
- The SAS/C 5.1 library routine [fs]scanf will not correctly handle
- format-strings like "%[^\n]s". Maybe this will be fixed by SAS in future
- versions.
-
- When using "%g" as format-string, SAS/C 5.1 [fs]printf will incorrectly
- output "0" as "0.". This looks rather ugly as a axis-label.
-
-
- SAS/C 5.1 bugs:
-
- SAS/C 5.1 [fs]scanf will count parameters overread with the "%*s" format-
- string as properly matched. I included a fix for this by counting the
- "%*"-sequences in the given format-string. Therfore the "*" must immediately
- follow the "%" (I don't know if it's legal to put something in-between
- these two characters anyway...).
-
- If you start a shell via the gnuplot "shell"-command you won't be able to
- close your CLI/Shell again. This is probably due to an error in the
- SAS/C "system"-call.
-
- "isatty(fileno(stdin))" did not work correctly. A fix is included.
-
- SAS/C does not seem to handle float-parameters in function-calls and
- -declarations correctly. (This cost me at least 2 hours to figure out >:-( ).
- See the latex- and eepic-drivers for details.

-
- --------------------------- AZTEC C VERSION -------------------------------
-
-
- Default paths/directories:
-
- GNUPlot looks for the "gnuplot.gih" file in "GNUPLOT:docs/gnuplot.gih" if
- GNUHELP is not defined. This is defined in the makefile (makefile.ami).
-
-
- Terminal Drivers:
-
- The Aztec C version can now use the "amiga.trm" driver written by
- Carsten Steger. Under KS/WB 2.0, a custom screen will be used with a size
- specified by the Prefs/Overscan program.
