I refreshed today 7.01trans and noticed I couldn't get my gnuplots to
plot anymore: data from a table within the org file is no longer
digested nicely by gnuplot.
To test, I used the snippet below from the worg
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-gnuplot.php:
** Data Table Plot
Plotting data points from a table could look like this:
#+tblname: basic-plot

No data in plot
So of course no basic-plot.png is created....
As far as I know, my gnuplots were happy sometime within the past week
refreshing org-mode from git basically daily...

That's odd. I wrote the tutorial and thus my heart skipped a beat for a
moment!

That's odd indeed. I copied and pasted your exact table and code from the
email and was able to generate the plot. The error is quite odd. It almost
makes me wonder if something is different about how gnuplot is receiving the
data. Like a syntax error or something. I would say that at this point it's
not the table or code, per se, since I can generate the plot. Hopefully
someone will chime in with more experience who may have seen this error?
One thing to try in the meantime... Gather up some gnuplot test data file
and try to run it from the command line perhaps? It would at least be one
way to see if it's working outside of org-mode?
Best regards,
John

John - thanks for the quick reply (and, btw, the very useful tutorial).
I ought to have noted that the example works fine when invoked directly
from the command line, with the only change being that I move the data
into a file (mainly because I don't know the correct gnuplot syntax for
putting table data into a variable!).
I haven't updated gnuplot since installing it, so I believe the org-mode
<-> gnuplot unfriendliness lies in some effect that a recent pull of
7.01trans has had. (I did updated emacs-w3m from cvs the other day, so I
suppose thats another possible source of error, but it seems unlikely).
I agree that it appears that the table data being handed to gnuplot
from org-mode is somehow being formatted in a way that gnuplot does not understand.

Hi Nigel,
Org-mode gnuplot code blocks do make use of user variables [1] for
passing arguments into gnuplot. I believe that this feature may only be
available in later versions of gnuplot. I'm using gnuplot 4.4 locally
and I've had no problems using gnuplot from Org-mode code blocks which I
do most every day.
the syntax for defining variables is fairly simple, try the following
directly in the gnuplot terminal, if your gnuplot does have variable
support it should graph a straight line of y=10
#+begin_src gnuplot
a=10
plot a
#+end_src

Eric - thanks. I'm using 4.4 as well. Up until today, the gnuplot code
blocks using data from org-mode tables worked fine. As of today, the
data from the org-mode tables appears to come through to gnuplot in a
format that gnuplot cannot understand. I guessing thats why gnuplot is
complaining that "data", the variable containing the data from the
org-mode table, is a "bad file". Running the aforementioned example
from the worg, the *gnuplot* output is
gnuplot> data = "((0.1 0.425 0.375) (0.2 0.3125 0.3375) (0.3 0.24999993

No data in plot
I've not regenerated the plots for a few days - maybe a week - so I
cannot be confident that only something today broke this. I'm fairly
confident that only org-mode (and as aforementioned emacs-w3m) have
changed in my emacs setup.

Did you try the example that Nigel posted? I think babel *is* broken.
I tried a bisect and can verify that
commit f16c46c856afbd41b115a6a50306c0c002cdb333 is good (release_7.01h-750-gf16c46c)
commit b664510ec4811491e4611791c24591153abdf5f3 is bad (release_7.01h-800-gb664510)
but the sequence is not bisectable: when it tries the middle commit
2699f4e9bc7695432cf6aaf1dd48e182b10c2847 (release_7.01h-775-g2699f4e)
it gets "Symbol's value as variable is void: result-type" and it's
not clear to me how to proceed with the bisection at that point. I tried
skipping a bit, but the results were mixed at best.
So it looks to me as if something in those 50 commits broke it.
HTH,
Nick

One more data point: the result-type problem was resolved in the following
commit cea9fd742129f74b9ea38d7d9d74ca751271fce2 (release_7.01h-786-gcea9fd7)
and that one still shows the gnuplot problem. So it's down to 36 commits.
HTH,
Nick

Ah,
My apologies, thank you both for persisting in raising this issue.
It seems there are *two* ways to pass variables into gnuplot. One uses
user variables [1], and the other directly replaces variables in the
code block [2]. You've been using the former, and I've been using the
latter. The bug only existed in the former, but I believe I've now
fixed that issue, and in fact I think I'll start using user variables as
in your example below.
Please let me know if the problem persists after a fresh pull of the
repository.

Problem gone with Nigel's (actually John's, iiuc) original example. I didn't
try your examples, but somehow I'm pretty sure that those will work
too!
Thanks,

Thanks all - problem gone over here too! (Tested in a few other
permutations on the original convoluted doc that I hit the error in).
Btw on the latest pull I get an error on the "make doc" part
(cd doc; makeinfo --html --number-sections --no-split -o org.html org.texi)
org.texi:1330: Unknown command `Vindex'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `org.html' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /home/nigel/Installation/org-mode (line 245 of Makefile).
I'll move to another post if its unrelated to this commit; just thought
that if it was introduced somehow in this fix, perhaps its easiest to
address here.
Thanks again!
