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:
Set your stack to at least 20000 and you'll be fine (I hope).
If you're using the integral feature, a stack size of at least 70000
is necessary (at least it is for "bivariat.demo" to execute).
-------------------------- LATTICE C 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".
Bugs/deficiencies:
The SAS/C 5.1 library routine [fs]scanf will not correctly handle
format-strings like "%[^\n]s". Maybe this will be fixed by SAS in future
versions.
When using "%g" as format-string, SAS/C 5.1 [fs]printf will incorrectly
output "0" as "0.". This looks rather ugly as a axis-label.
SAS/C 5.1 bugs:
SAS/C 5.1 [fs]scanf will count parameters overread with the "%*s" format-
string as properly matched. I included a fix for this by counting the
"%*"-sequences in the given format-string. Therfore the "*" must immediately
follow the "%" (I don't know if it's legal to put something in-between
these two characters anyway...).
If you start a shell via the gnuplot "shell"-command you won't be able to
close your CLI/Shell again. This is probably due to an error in the
SAS/C "system"-call.
"isatty(fileno(stdin))" did not work correctly. A fix is included.
SAS/C does not seem to handle float-parameters in function-calls and
-declarations correctly. (This cost me at least 2 hours to figure out >:-( ).
See the latex- and eepic-drivers for details.
--------------------------- 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.
