Hi there,
I am planning to use gnuplot to plot some data that I have in org table.
Everything is set-up correctly and gnuplot is installed my mac.
Unfortunately, when I run the following org file I get a zero byte file --
everything seems to run ok, except nothing is written to the output file.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong ?
#+tblname: testing
| x | y |
|---+----|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 8 |
| 5 | 10 |
| 6 | 12 |
| 7 | 14 |
| 8 | 16 |
#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=testing :file output.eps :exports both
set title "test"
set auto x
set style data histogram
set style fill solid border -1
set boxwidth 0.9
plot data using 1:2
#+end_src
#+results:
[[file:output.eps]]
cheers
M

Hi Marvin,
I just tried your example locally, and I also got an empty .eps file. I
then jumped to the *gnuplot* buffer where I saw the following.
,----
| gnuplot> data = "/tmp/babel-4592fc8/gnuplot-4592Pna"
| gnuplot> set term eps
| ^
| unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
|
| gnuplot> set output "output.eps"
| gnuplot> set title "test"
| gnuplot> set auto x
| gnuplot> set style data histogram
| gnuplot> set style fill solid border -1
| gnuplot> set boxwidth 0.9
| gnuplot> plot data using 1:2
| ^
| use 'set term' to set terminal type first
|
| gnuplot>
`----
so if your gnuplot is like my gnuplot then "eps" is not a known terminal
type. I'd suggest trying the following. Also, notice that I changed
your "plot" line -- histograms are not intuitive in gnuplot.
#+tblname: gnuplot-testing
| x | y |
|---+----|
| 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 8 |
| 5 | 10 |
| 6 | 12 |
| 7 | 14 |
| 8 | 16 |
#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=gnuplot-testing :file output.eps :exports both
set term postscript
set title "test"
set auto x
set style data histogram
set style fill solid border -1
set boxwidth 0.9
plot data using 2:xtic(1)
#+end_src
Cheers -- Eric

Shameless plug: this and more is available at the orgmode gnuplot
babel documentation on Worg. Check it out if you're interested.
