#2356 — obtain a pdf graph from .cvs file

Hello,

I'm new in using gnuplot and I'd like to obtain pdf graphs of a .csv file. Which would be commands I should use? I have read different tutorials but I'm having problems in knowing which terminal I should use. (I have used epslatex because I know a friend of mine uses it but without understanding why...)

What I have done is:
 
gnuplot> set terminal epslatex                                             #definir la terminal (crec qye es amb la que treballaves tu, no?)
Terminal type set to 'epslatex'
Options are '   leveldefault monochrome blacktext \
   dashed dashlength 1.0 linewidth 1.0 butt noclip \
   nobackground \
   palfuncparam 2000,0.003 \
   noheader "" 11  fontscale 1.0 '
gnuplot> set output "PROBA.eps"
gnuplot> set output "PROBA.tex"
gnuplot> plot "field-electrode.csv" using 1:2 
         warning: Skipping unreadable file "field-electrode.csv"
         No data in plot

Can somebody please help me? I would really appreciate it...

Ramon

   set output "pdffilename.pdf"

you have to

   set datafile separator ","

because gnuplot otherwise expects a space or tab between values

after plotting, you have to close the output file with

   set output

ok,

thanks for your response. It worked but now I get an error when trying to open the .pdf file which says:

"Unable to open document
File type document de text pla (text/plain)is not supported"

Any idea about what should I do? I think the problem appears because I'm using Linux (Ubuntu 12.04)


Thanks again,

Ramon

unlikely. you just haven´t set the correct terminal, and written the
output of that other terminal into a pdf file. Which of course cannot
work then.

You ubuntu is cleverer than windows, and also looks into the file to
detect it´s type, instead of relying on the extension.

You seem to have installed the 4.6.5-rc1 that was available on
gnuplot.info a few weeks ago. It missed all the cairo/pango based terminals.

Just reinstall the now released official binary, then you can use cairopdf.

Oops, is just saw there is no final 4.6.5 yet. But the -rc2 works fine.

Karl:

i am using ubuntu so I downloaded the 4.6.5-rc2.zip file but when I unzip it and install it, I get the version 4.4.3 installed in my computer. Is this a problem related to synaptics? I don't know how to get the pdfcairo terminal installed..!
