[comp.sys.next] getting 'set output "|Preview"' to work in gnuplot

zazula@uazhe0.physics.arizona.edu (RALPH ZAZULA) (03/08/91)

I finally have a working Gnuplot2.02.  But, when I say:
	
	set output "|Preview"

and then  plot something, I don't see any output.  Preview starts
but it dosen't open any windows.  I know that I can write to a file
and read it in with Preview but that isn't what I would like to do...

Any suggestions?
Ralph

If you issue the shell command 
!open filename.eps
inside gnuplot then this will launch Scene and bring up a window with your
plot. The real solution is probably to use Interface Builder to put some sort
of front end on gnuplot, but there is no Interface Builder documentation at
all with the 2.0 Extended release! This makes IB useless to me.
