gnuplot-py-users Mailing List for Gnuplot.py

Thank you for your replay, I'll try to make the patch and test it again.
The option to mouse-interact with gnuplot's graphics window  was =
introduced in gnuplot 3.8. It works under X11, and win32 and probably =
under some other OS's.
I have tested gnuplot-py 1.7 + gnuplot 3.8 combination only under =
gnu/linux. I had no problems with gnuplot-py 1.6 + gnuplot 3.8 under =
win32.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.  I was on vacation.

I am not familiar with the commands that you mentioned.  On what gnuplot =

version and platform are they?  Are they specific to a particular=20
terminal type?

If this feature causes gnuplot.py to read the input file twice, that=20
would indeed be a problem when working with FIFOs.  Normally, as soon as =

the FIFO has been read once by gnuplot, it is deleted.  It would be=20
possible to keep the FIFO around for possible repeated reads, but this=20
would defeat the purpose of the FIFO (which was to enable Gnuplot.py to=20
know when it is safe to discard old data).

As for a workaround, you can go back to using temporary files as a=20
default by going to the gp_*.py file specific to your platform (e.g.,=20
gp_unix.py or gp_macosx.py) and changing the option "prefer_fifo_data" =
to 0.
