Some notes on gnuplot on the Amiga: ----------------------------------- 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". Your current directory is searched for the file ".gnuplot". If you say "setenv GNUPLOT " (without the filename!) gnuplot will look for it there. If you don't like "NewShell" as your shell, you can say "setenv SHELL ". Additional features of the Amiga-version: ----------------------------------------- You can say "setenv GNUFONT /" 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". Stack size: ----------- Set your stack to at least 20000 and you'll be fine (I hope). 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.
