Dear Gunther,
The gnuplot.lisp file that I have (maxima 5.38.1-8) does not contain the lines
above but instead at lines 3393-3396:
(when (and (not *multiplot-is-active*)
(not (member (get-option '$terminal) '($epslatex
$epslatex_standalone))))
(format cmdstorage "set obj 1 rectangle behind from screen
~a,~a to screen ~a,~a~%"
origin1 origin2 (+ origin1 size1 ) (+
origin2 size2))) ))
As far as I understand it, $epslatex and $epslatex_standalone have been
singled out for gnuplot processing (for some reason). Either
- the two lines should be activated
"set obj 1 rectangle etc."
"set obj 1 fc rgb etc."
- or the two of them are removed from ~/maxoutXXXX.gnuplot (in that case, no
background ), whereas on debian stretch only the second line is present.
Both cases can generate .tex file. (I only have gnuplot 5 too). The bug comes
from the first line missing.
Best regards,
