The underlying problem in your example above is that output is not closed until told to. That should happen on gnuplot quit or output re-definition. IIRC that also happened in other terminals. Something like set output "p.pdf" set terminal pdfcairo plot x set output should work. The idea is that you may want to add more things before output is closed, set output "p.pdf" set terminal pdfcairo plot x plot x**2 set output should create a two page pdf with both graphs. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
