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:
A stack size of at least 25000 bytes should be used while running gnuplot.
If you use recursive functions, e.g. like in "bivariat.dem", you will have
to increase your stack size accordingly. Otherwise gnuplot will exit with
a run time error.
-------------------------- SAS/C 6.1 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".
--------------------------- 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.
