I know the question was asked 3 years ago, but this is one of the first
entry we found when we look at "gnuplot + gedit" on google, so I figured
it would be nice to give an answer.
Gedit uses gtksourceview <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView>
to highlight codes. The file it uses is just an XML file that can be
created or downloaded if it exists.
You'll find a number of language definitions on the Gnome wiki
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView/LanguageDefinitions>,
including one for gnuplot.
Now, to install the gnuplot style sheet, download the XML file first:
gnuplot.lang
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView/LanguageDefinitions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=gnuplot.lang>
Second, copy it into the directory that holds style sheets for all the
supported languages:
|sudo cp gnuplot.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/gnuplot.lang
|
Now restart gedit and you should be able to choose gnuplot highlighting.
