A couple of weeks ago I asked why psview would not display the PostScript output from GNUPLOT properly. The symptoms were that the text looked okay, but no lines were drawn. I got no responses other than one person who pointed me to Dick Phillips and another person at LANL. They are working on (or have completed?) a version of GNUPLOT that is integrated with NeWS. Presumably Don Hopkins at UMD will be receiving it shortly. After getting no direct answers to my query, I decided to look into things a bit. NeWS has a built-in natural log operator, ln. The code generated by GNUPLOT also defines a function called ln to draw lines with offsets from the lower left corner of the page which is never seen due to the built-in ln operator (even if I use bind in defining it). The solution was simply to change "ln" to "li". Skip Montanaro (montanaro@sprite.steinmetz.ge.com, montanaro@ge-crd.arpa)
