Gnuplot with ruby - unset variable?
in [Ruby]
|
From: M3tr0 G33k on 7 Jul 2008 09:06 Hi all, Seems like rgplot2.2 is inactive - is this correct? I am used to gnuplot, so I went to it first when starting with Ruby. One problem - trying to replicate 'unset border' All of the 'set' actions in Gnuplot::Plot are listed individually. This means that to do 'set border <some args>' you do plot.border "<some args>". But to do 'unset border' you can't do plot.border "unset" because you get an error from gnuplot like 'set unset border ERROR'. This seems right for the way rgplot works, but how do you do 'unset border'? Should I give up and use R :? Thanks in advance, if anyone can help m3tr0g33k -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I enter "set noborder" in my Gnuplot 4.2 at the command line, it complains about a deprecated syntax, but nevertheless removes the border. > Should I give up and use R :? Maybe you'll also have a look at tioga (rubyforge.org/projects/tioga/) for an alternative to Gnuplot. Should you know how to compile it in Windows, please leave a note. Best regards, Axel -- Psssst!

Thanks for your reply, Joel VanderWerf. I am mainly getting data from csv files and plotting to ps images. Thankfully window persistence doesn't bother me (yet). Appreciate your input, m3tr0g33k -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
