[CSC 335] Graphics files in Gnuplot

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Some of you wanted to know how to make gnuplot output files for 
incorporation into your documents or for printing.  I am including the 
contents of a file I used to create some nmr style plots.  In this file 
I create the plot on the screen, create a PNG graphics file (bitmapped 
graphics), a SVG file (should be vector graphics) and a postscript 
file.  I then return the system to its initial starting state.  Now, I 
placed all the commands in a file called "plotcommands" and when I got 
into gnuplot plot I issued the command...

call "plotcommands"

and it executes all of them serially.


plot [-5:.25] "filtered.dat" with lines title "Filtered"
replot "baseline2" with lines title "Baseline"
show term
show output
set term png
set output "plot.png"
replot
set term svg
set output "plot.svg"
replot
set term postscript enhanced color landscape
set output "plot.ps"
replot
set term x11
set output STDOUT


Both the .png and .svg files should be great for importing into 
documents (the .svg file should technically be better since it is 
supposedly a vector format) and the postscript file should be ready to 
be sent to a printer.
