Under mkiv everything is fine. mkiv creates a
file gnuplot-gnuplot-1.plt, sends this file to gnuplot and uses the
output gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex.
Under lmtx only the files gnuplot-gnuplot-1.tmp
and gnuplot-gnuplot-inclusions.tmp are created. When I copy the correct
.plt file from a mkiv-run, no gnuplot-gnuplot-1-ctx.tex is generated. If
I copy the correct -ctx.tex file from a mkiv-run, I still get an error.

Use \startMPinitializations instead of \startMPextensions, it's
global to all MP instances, though.

Re: [NTG-context] gnuplot module broken
Dear Hans,
please consider the following example in MKII:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPextensions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPextensions
\startuseMPgraphic{bla}
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\def\abc{3cm}\color[blue]{\useMPgraphic{bla}}
% Nice small black circle
\def\abc{1cm}\useMPgraphic{bla}
\stoptext
I still don't know how to reproduce this in MKIV. I tried with
MPdefinitions as you suggested, but this only works the first time
when it is used. The following example creates two equal circles
instead of two different ones:
\starttext
\startMPdefinitions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPdefinitions
\startuseMPgraphic{bla}
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\def\abc{3cm}\color[blue]{\useMPgraphic{bla}}
% I want a black 1cm circle here
\def\abc{1cm}\useMPgraphic{bla}
\stoptext
Unless MKII is more powerful than MKIV: how can I achieve the same
functionality in MKIV as I did in MKII?
Thank you,
Mojca

From a recent message by Hans:
- add mp functionality (immediate expansion)
It seems that ConTeXt now parses everything inside MPextensions
earlier than it did before and I don't have the slightest idea how to
account for this in the module without a major rewrite. In case that
Hans wants to keep the new functionality, I either need [quite some]
help with the module or I'll simply stick to TeX Live 2012 for the
foreseeable future ;)
For the (not texlive) module use:
\defineMPinstance[gnuplot]
[format=metafun,
extensions=yes,
initializations=yes,
method=double]
\startMPdefinitions[gnuplot] ...
and then use the gnuplot instance. This not only isolates the code, but
also gives you floats. It also means that if someone crashes the gnuplot
instance, the rest still keeps running.
Definitions are per instance and are delayed i.e. passed via the tex end
when they get expanded.
The reason for extensions being immediate (at least for now) is that it
was more easy to implement as extensions meant for mp extensions and can
be for all instances of specific (sets) of instances.
Sorry for the changes but as we have multiple instances, scale vs double
and maybe more coming it's probably worth the trouble.

If you do your calculations modulo 356 days, yes ;)
I need to wait for a huge macports update to finish (needs
recompilation of many big packages, including octave etc.) before I
will be able to use gnuplot again, but there is a fair chance that
either there is no gnuplot module installed in your standalone ConTeXt
installation (an extra --modules=gnuplot switch needed if I'm not
mistaken) or that something broke with yesterday's massive changes
(that 356 days joke wasn't meant seriously).
Please check if you have
/Users/jin/pkgs/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.tex
(kpsewhich t-gnuplot.tex)
on your system.
I'll take a look as soon as I have a working gnuplot binary back.

You’re mixing counter mechanism in the module.
You define a new counter with
\newcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber
and later you reset it with
\setcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber\zerocount
Both commands are from different mechanism where the \setcounter is from
\makecounter is was removed in MkIV because the internal commands for
\definenumber have changed to \definecounter, \incrementcounter, \setcounter
etc.
To reset a \newcounter command you can write \newcounter\… (or
\doglobal\newcounter\…).

Oh, indeed. It seems that a recent change in ConTeXt core broke
functionality of the module (the version I tested on earlier worked
fine).
I'm not sure if I know where to start digging for the problem. There
are some more experienced developers here, but I can try. (Though I
take all the blame on me for not adapting the module to MKIV yet.)

Re: [NTG-context] Gnuplot and the dollar sign
Thank you for your reply!
I was actually able to find a workaround for my problem at least in
this case. Digging through the gnuplot documentation revealed that
instead of using $n to refer to the column n in a data file one can
also use column(n). The ConTeXt parser accepts this of course.

On one hand that is the intended default behaviour. It is very handy
to be able to use
plot (cos(2*x)*sin(0.5*x) + 1)*exp(-0.4*x) title '$\left(\cos(2x)
\cdot \sin(0.5x)\right+1) e^{-0.4x}$'
to get nice result. On the other hand I'm not exactly sure how to
reliably print whatever gets passed to ConTeXt. The only option that
comes to my mind is some modification of
\sometxt{\starttyping floor($1/0.01) \stoptyping}
where \starttyping would generate a single line. But one would need a
special option for that. (The command \type{...} would not be reliable
enough: in MKII it stops working at the second underscore and it is a
problem if one has curly braces in text.)

Currently the only option is to provide an explicit title. But if
there's a request to support literal output and if somebody can help
me figure out how exactly I should output the given text into
metapost, so that it will be reliably printed out literally.

This one seems easy to fix - just comment out \runMPgraphicstrue in
t-gnuplot.tex. But I have other problems with buffers after trying
that. (See the topic "buffer broken?" from two days ago.)

Re: [NTG-context] gnuplot module: `option=monochrome` does not work.
Dear Paul, Just a few more thoughts: - If your whole document is black-and-white (if you switch colors off globally), the plot will turn out black-and-white anyway (actually it will be different shades of gray). - You can always use something like plot pi lt 1 lc 0, 2*pi lt 2 lc 0 or lc rgb "black" (if I'm not mistaken about the syntax) or set style line 1 lt 1 lc 0 set style line 2 lt 2 lc 0 plot sin(x) ls 1, cos(x) ls 2, ...

On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 18:03, Paul Menzel wrote: > Dear ConTeXt folks, > > > I want to create monochrome plots, but `option=monochrome` is ignored. (Ashamed.) Yes, you are right. > \usemodule[gnuplot] > > \setupGNUPLOT[terminal=context,option=monochrome] This passes the option to terminal if no better way is available. This would only help you in case of png, pdf or metapost terminal. For ConTeXt terminal in input mode it wouldn't help you since the option color/dashed/etc. are completely ignored. This means that gnuplot will only consider options fontscale=, points=metapost|tex, width= and height= since that influences the output. Colors and dashed/solid lines can be turned on and off on the fly, same for line widths (you can redraw the same graph with dash turned on and off, using the same gnuplot output). First of all, I should fix documentation on that (using it that way is slightly deprecated and should only be used if the option is not). But second of all .. I just realized that, for example, standalone mode writes out \setupGNUPLOTterminal [context] [linejoin=mitered, % *mitered* | rounded | beveled linecap=butt, % *butt* | rounded | squared dashed=yes, % *yes* | no dashlength=1, % scaling factor for dash lengths linewidth=1, % scaling factor for line widths (1.0 means 0.5bp) %fontscale=1, % scaling factor for text labels points=metapost, % *metapost* | tex (Should points be drawn with MetaPost or TeX?) images=inline] % *inline* | external (inline only works in MKIV, external requires png support in gnuplot) but I completely forgot about monochrome option!!! Or rather ... I see that I print out "\setupcolors[state=start]" if and only if color is switched on, but that won't really help you in standalone mode. Ouch! I'm sorry. You don't need to recompile the terminal for that, but I need to fix t-gnuplot.tex and mp-gnuplot.mp. Does, according to what you see above, "color=yes|no" make sense? (I will also have to change the terminal for standalone mode, but that won't affect your plots.) However, the main reason why I didn't do it better before is because I have no idea what to do with monochrome. That is: should I use different shades of gray? Should I simply make all the colors solid black? And then the user should use "color=no,dashed=yes"? I'm particularly confused about the choice between different shades of gray and black. And yes - I'll fix the wiki page. Here's a quick workaround: \startMPextensions gp_color_lt[0] := black; gp_color_lt[1] := black; gp_color_lt[2] := black; gp_color_lt[3] := black; gp_color_lt[4] := black; gp_color_lt[5] := black; gp_color_lt[6] := black; gp_color_lt[7] := black; gp_color_lt[8] := black; \stopMPextensions Mojca ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Most likely you are missing some of the "build" tools. Look for a package called "build-essential". You may need to add some -dev packages for various libraries needed by gnuplot.

As I recall, I posted a patch the last time this discussion came up.
It turns off text output from the png terminal without affecting any
other graphical elements. My though was that it could be the basis
of a pdflatex terminal class that works the same way as the current
epslatex terminals. I can post it again, or upload it to SourceForge
if it isn't there already.

I am not aware > of such a functionality within gnuplot but it would be a nice feature. But this is an issue of Gnuplot, not something that a terminal writer is supposed to think of. One thing that I did implement in ConTeXt was that if I get instructions move_to(10,3) line_to(11,8) line_to(11,8) line_to(11,9) then one line_to(11,8) will be ignored (resolution is hard-coded in the terminal, but you could draw a smaller plot and then magnify it which would seemingly decrease resolution). But in most cases that wouldn't really help. About the timing difference between "set term context" and "set term lua context": it is quite possible that metapost library is much faster than TikZ which uses TeX-based macros. TeX might be slower in calculations than metapost (which uses C for low level calculations) and TikZ is not optimized for drawing ten-thousand segments. And Hans really tried hard to optimize the code. Processing the output with ConTeXt is also at least ten times slower that outputting straight to PS or PDF and if you try ConTeXt MKII it is about two times slower than MKIV. You probably didn't have a chance to try the first implementations of ConTeXt terminal for gnuplot. It needed 10 minutes for 13 ordinary plots and it ran out of memory if I tried to plot 14 of them!!! (The reason was the usage of "btex text etex" constructs which lead to ConTeXt runs inside metapost runs inside ConTeXt runs, all doubled, maybe the labels were compile even four times, usually with a separate instance of ConTeXt for each plot.) Now compare that speed difference and the enormous optimization that Hans implemented back in 2006 ... The slow speed of TikZ is not something that you could do much about. There might be some tiny room for optimization in gnuplot-lua-tikz-common.tex, but hardly any. LuaTeX-based TikZ could be reimplemented and that would bring most benefits, but since Till almost-quit the project and since it works out-of-the-box with pdfTeX macros it is highly unlikely to happen. But yes, it would be nice if also ConTeXt terminal would be included. It still doesn't support raw images, but most other features are present.

Hej Mojca, thank you for your answer! Well, that was surprisingly easy - I
should have checked the manual first (I was just about to write an ugly hack
into your context terminal driver :). Actually
set format "$%g$"
gives the default label format (only enclosed in $) for all axes.

I'd probably do the same in that case. But unlike you I have a lot less points
- 5000 points instead of millions. Loot at this example, which is the slightly
modified random demo script taken from the gnuplot page:
set terminal context size 15.0cm,10.5cm standalone
set output 'randomCtx.tex'
set dummy t,y
unset key
set parametric
set samples 5000, 5000
set style function dots
set title "Lattice test for random numbers"
set xlabel "rand(n) ->"
set xrange [ 0.0 : 1.0 ] noreverse nowriteback
set ylabel "rand(n + 1) ->"
set yrange [ 0.0 : 1.0 ] noreverse nowriteback
set zlabel "rand(n + 2) ->"
set zrange [ 0.0 : 1.0 ] noreverse nowriteback
plot rand(0), rand(0)
set terminal lua tikz context size 15.0cm,10.5cm fulldoc
set output 'randomLua.tex'
replot
Now look at the timing of processing the output files with context (final run
only):
context randomCtx.tex -> 3.150 seconds.
context randomLua.tex -> 23.658 seconds.
Further increasing the number of points to 15000 results in 8.978 vs. 62.878
seconds. Quite a big difference in processing time!
> (Gnuplot also has a keyword 'every' to reduce the number of points,

True, but suppose you don't have evenly spaced data points. Then you don't want
every other line but one point every 5 kilometres or something the like.
Especially for line drawings it would be beneficial not to place every single
point. Instead consecutive points should be skipped if they are close to each
other (with regard to plot units) - it makes no sense to include points which
you won't see anyway. This could be done by defining a grid with a certain
(user defined) resolution and rounding the coordinates (plot units) of a line
point to the nearest grid node. All consecutive line points falling on the same
grid node should not be passed on to terminal drivers. The psxy utility of GMT
(http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/) does this for instance. I am not aware of such a
functionality within gnuplot but it would be a nice feature.
Best wishes,
Florian

Confirmed. I had the problems with that in my terminal as well, but I
think that it was a buglet in metapost back then; oh, good old
memories ... :) :) :) I didn't check the details about this one.

I'm not sure if this should really be fixed automatically or not. In
order to fix this one would have to patch gnuplot core.
I forgot the details how to do it (I can find it out), but you can
configure the layout of labels. In particular you may enclose the
number into math delimiters ($). Maybe something like
set format y "$%.1f$"
would work (you might want to change the size of left margin then).
Doing any other kind of magic would be a bit dangerous. Keep in mind
that
plot 'x.dat' u 1:(2*$2)
will also fail since TeX will interpret $ as math delimiter. But
changing that behaviour would have other undesirable effects.

Using bitmap terminals. A while back I was dreaming about having
mixed-mode with one terminal creating text labels and the other one
(png for example) drawing the plot. But this needs some extra
programming effort.
You would stumble against the same problem when using PS or PDF
terminal, maybe only at a slightly bigger number of points.
What I did for my "theory of chaos" reports and the million-of-points
plots in my thesis was to create an empty plot with ConTeXt terminal,
create a borderless plot with PNG and then manually insert PNG into
the generated ConTeXt output, which you could do with TikZ output as
well. It requires more effort, but there is no other way to speed up
vector graphics. They are simply not suitable for drawing millions of
points on the same plot.
(Gnuplot also has a keyword 'every' to reduce the number of points,
but in my case I wanted to plot all of them.)

Thanks, I just updated the CVS version of gnuplot with your files and gave it a

>> Feedback and patches welcome!
No patches I'm afraid. But feedback goes here:
1) The label text of the following key element takes the color of the preceding
key symbol. Minimal example:
set terminal lua tikz fulldoc size 15cm,7cm context
set output 'plot.tex'
set xrange [ 0 : 13 ]
f1(x)=sqrt(x)
f2(x)=sqrt(x*0.8)-3
plot f1(x) lc rgb 'blue', f2(x)
2) Negative axis labels are set with hyphen instead of proper minus sign, which
should be longer (see example above).
3) First I thought luatex hangs but then I noticed TikZ is awfully slow when
drawing plots with large amounts of data points (the tikzpicture had about 3000
lines). I can speed this up by reducing the size by invoking plot with:
plot "< gawk '(NR-1)%10 == 0 {print $0}' fileWithLotsOfData" using [...]
I wonder if there is a smarter way to do this in gnuplot.
4) Is there a possibility to get rid of the vertical artifacts in filledcurves?
Note: the artifacts are only visible when plotting from data files.
set terminal lua tikz fulldoc size 15cm,7cm context
set output 'plot.tex'
plot "< gawk 'BEGIN {for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {print i, 0.7*i, 0.8*i+50}}'"
using 1:2:3 with filledcurve lc rgb 'black' t 'filled curve'
set xrange [ 0 : 13 ]
plot abs(x) with filledcurve xy=2,5
Best wishes,
Florian

Can you please send the same message to the gnuplot mailing list? I have sent the patch upstream once in 2006, but they had two arguments against including the patch: 1.) nobody from the development team was willing to install anything else but tetex to try it out (and the module doesn't work under tetex) 2.) they assumed that I was the only user The first point should hopefully be resolved by now (module should work under MikTeX or TeX Live out-of-the-box and hopefully TeX Live is enough widespread by now), but if anyone wants to have the module included, somebody else but me needs to write to the gnuplot mailing list and ask the developers if they are willing to include the patch. (By pointing them to https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot/blob/master/term/context.trm first.) I'm willing to upload the patch, but it makes no sense for me to regularly upload new patches to their feature-requests-and-bug-tracking system if they ignore them for ages ... I admit that the number of ConTeXt/Gnuplot users might be small, alone for the fact that the number of ConTeXt users (several thousand?) is much smaller than the number of LaTeX addicts, but I would be glad to see 20 users of metafont terminal when not even the output of metapost terminal is satisfactory (it could be improved considerably). Apart from that ... I was working with Peter Hedwig on the ConTeXt part of his lua/TikZ terminal (that has already been included in gnuplot). We got it running, with some issues like general font loading scheme, but the work was never polished to the end (stalled at some point).

One more question ... When checking for luatex inside metapost (to be
able to branch code depending on engine) - what's the best thing to
ask for?
a) if known context_mlib: ...
b) \startLUATEX\startMPextensions mark := 4; \stopMPextensions\stopLUATEX
if mark = 4: ...
c) something else

The main problem was that one had to intercept the string (the
terminal gives the same output for all "marks"). The hint that you
gave me an hour ago lead me to the following solution that seems to
work OK:
vardef [EMAIL PROTECTED](expr txt) =
let,=@;
save r, g, b;
r = redpart gp_color_current;
g = greenpart gp_color_current;
b = bluepart gp_color_current;
rawtextext("\colored[r=" & decimal(r) & ",g=" & decimal(g) & ",b=" &
decimal(b) & "]{" & txt & "}")
enddef ;
Writing the string \colored[...] directly would need heavy
modifications in the terminal. Now this hack works really nice.
>> 3.) changing font with gnuplot commands

But that requires modifications to terminal again & incompatibility
with output between engines. I'll try to figure out how to do
something similar as above. I would like to write this as
\sometxt[gp][iwona,20pt]{The Title}. I "just" need to redefine the
meaning of \sometxt somehow.

The ideal would be an option when processing the source file, to turn off file deletion. Like texexec document.tex --keep-temporaries So by default the source directory would be kept clean, but when "debugging" the intermediate files would be available. Or perhaps some option passed to \startGNUPLOTscript (or \useGNUPLOTgraphic) if that is possible? \startGNUPLOTscript[example][keeptemporaryfile=yes] That might be better otherwise debugging a big document could result it hundreds of files.

I don't use gnuplot, but it's the same problem with lilypond - lots of files cluttering my project directory. It would be a good solution if we could write all those temp files to a configurable directory (that one can delete or not).

Hello Aditya, for this reason I wrote updateConTeXt.sh ( http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/updateConTeXt.sh ).

But that is more ugly. I prefer to say explicitely to delete
m-gnuplot.tex rather than having to keep using [t] for ages. m-gnuplot
is/was a great starting point, but now obsolete anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem under windows is that gnuplot
usually doesn't reside in PATH anyway (in contrast to unix). Adding
such a setting in file would mean incompatibility when compiling the
same file on linux, but of course one could add
\setupgnuplot[program=wgnuplot] to cont-usr.tex. I just thought that
creating a batch file would be less problematic than hardcoding the
path in the module. But such an option can always be added.

Braces were used at the beginning (as in \startuseMPgraphic{name}),
but since \useGNUPLOTgraphic[name][1,3][width=4cm] needed optional
parameters, it was a bit inconsistent to have braces in one place and
brackets on the other.
Both should work. Well, at least they were supposed to work (or at
least "I think that I remember them working"). Apparently it doesn't.
I spent quite some time trying to support both brackets and braces,
but I didn't manage to make \useGNUPLOTgraphic{name} work.
\startGNUPLOTsript{name} doesn't complain, but doesn't seem to work
either. Never mind, it's not that important. I'll change the demos,
but I also need to improve them and write some general documentation.

I downloaded the gnuplot and a couple of tests. Few comments:
m-gnuplot is found before t-gnuplot on my system. I know that
m-gnuplot has been removed from the core packages, but I (and I guess

Please also include a demo file with the gnuplot module. If I
were seriously considering using gnuplot, a demo file will help a lot.
That will also allow you to find the syntax mistake in the

Re: [NTG-context] gnuplot in ConTeXt
Hi,
The ConTeXt term is now in development.
You have at least two or three alternatives (with one prefered
but in dev):
- use postscript term and include the resulting graphics with
externalfigure
- use mp term and process the MP buffer with metafun
- last but not least, use directly the context terminal...
For this one, you have to:
- compile and install gnuplot from source by adding context.trm in
gnuplot/term/ and adding context.trm to term.h (if you are on linux,
else on windows you can use the wiki's patched binary gnuplot
http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot/bin/)
- get mp-gnuplot.mp and t-gnuplot.tex and copy these two files into
your current document directory
- use \usemodule[t-gnuplot] to bypass the gnuplot module distributed
with the ConTeXt release
Then, you can try:
\usemodule[t-gnuplot]
\starttext
\startGNUPLOTscript{abc}
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc]
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc][width=\textwidth]
\stoptext
If you have any questions...
Cheers,
Renaud

Hmmm ... I tried to copy the implementation from epslatex terminal, so
that one was already able to say
set terminal context header "\\setupbodyfont[20pt]"
but I figured out that after it was run five or ten times, it crashed.
After that I realized that the epslatex terminal crashes too, but I
didn't figure out yet how to debug gnuplot.
If anyone has more experince with allocs, feel free to fix my source.
The problem with verbatim ... etex is that you somehow "preprocess it"
or I don't know what you do with it. So if one writes
\def\GnuplotPoint#1{...} into verbatimtex it results in something like
\def \GnuplotPoint ##1 {}, of you write \let\GnuplotPoint\relax, it
results in \let \relax. \input works because it has some luck that it
doesn't get modified during preprocessing.

I already did that, but as I mentioned above - it crashed ...
But in any case: global metapost environment works perfectly!!!

I just noticed that "epslatex" terminal was improved considerably in
the new gnuplot version (4.1, you can download testing binaries for
windows).
Take a look.

If you process the files manually it's no problem to edit the
"verbatimtex" part of the resulting metapost output. However, this
cannot be done if the file is generated and included with the gnuplot
module.
I'll first finish the ConTeXt terminal and perhaps fix/improve mp
terminal on the basis of ConTeXt terminal later (or during writing
it).
It's very easy to fix gnuplot, so that it will be able to place
additional commands inside "verbatimtex" section. If anyone needs
that, I can add it and submit it to patches, but I can only provide
you windows binaries after that. (I tried to compile it on three linux
boxes without success, although it should be trivial.)
All I need to know is the keyword that you want to use and that would
make sense. Epslatex uses the following syntax for example:
set terminal epslatex header "\usepackage{something}"
(Would anyone need that at all?)
My next question is going to be: how should I handle fonts in context
terminal? (But probably for another thread or for off-list discussions
only.)

Not necessary. Gnuplot module might be a bit stubborn. I had many
problems, but they might have different reasons since many sifferent
pieces of software are sticked together:
- mp wanted to use cmr10, but that font was missing on standalone ConTeXt distr.
- texmfstart missing under windows
- gnuplot terminal compiled without pdf terminal
- missing TEXSYSTEM=miktex on windows box (or (p)gnuplot not present in path)
- on my personal I failed to compile gnuplot properly in order to produce PNGs
- serious problems with mptopdf under windows (CRITICAL!!!)

It depends on terminal. With PostScript terminal you can't do math.
With Metapost you can do math, but don't ask me how to change fonts to
lucida (try read "help terminal mp" if it helps you). Anyway I'm
affraid that you won't get lucida for math that way.
(I'll try to improve the metapost terminal a bit, but I have no idea
what to do with fonts.)
Perhaps you could use LaTeX (or any other LaTeX-related terminal like
PSTricks for that), but this is not supported by the module yet.
However, read my other mail(s) that I'll send today about "set
terminal context". (I don't find any of the existing terminals good
enough, so I would like to make a superior one.)

Forget about ConTeXt commands with "method=mp". This makes plain
metapost files and labes are processed with plain TeX, which doesn't
have any idea about the fonts you use in the document.
If you manage to make lucida work with plain TeX, the only option I
currently see is something like
set title '{\input my-defs \bf Title}'
where you store your definitions in a separate file or
set title '{\font\a=hlhr8r sa 2 \a Title}'
(just guessing, I don't know the exact syntax).
But you probably don't want to do that.

That's what I was talking about a bit earlier.
Hans, would it be possible to support pst terminal as well (PSTricks I
suppose)? This one needs more than one command to get the resulting
pdf I suppose. (I won't need it, but if there are other users who
could make use of it ...)

Ask Hans. I don't know why he likes them so much (I would remove
them), but they should be harmless. They're there because of
\def\obeyedline{;\systemendofline}%
---
And a final word: I finally installed "something to compile gnuplot
with" yesterday. I have the first pre-alpha ;) "set terminal context"
working and I will need both Hans and Taco's hand as well as
gnuplot/metafun users to help me with
suggestions/requests/brainstorming about how to implement certain
parts, so that the output will remain highly configurable regarding
fonts, colors & styles, but more about that in another mail.
(Some serious problems with mptopdf on windows disturb me a lot, but I
hope I'll find a way out. I can't make textext work, so I'm using the
standalone ConTeXt in the moment, but this has to be fixed for other
MikTeX users as well.)

/usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida/hlhr8r.tfm
It sets the metapost's defaultfont but maybe there is another method
than give a .tfm file I don't know.
()when installing lbr using texfont, did you (manually) move the math pfb files and tfm files?
(maybe i should distribute the lbr math tfm files)
I have the lbr math tfm files and they work fine in my document.

Which would you prefer? _In this case_, I would likely trust the hand-tuned TFMs a bit more than texfont-generated ones. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Hello Hans,
really nice example, that's the way I love to learn ConTeXt!
I don't have Windows, so I had to modify your code a bit:
{\def\par{\rawcharacter{13}}%
changed to {\def\par{\rawcharacter{10}}%
because 13 is CR (\r), but gnuplot needs LF (\n) here (Linux)
this is indeed an issue; either i let texexec set the platform character
(no problem) or taco extends pdftex with \pdfnewline
But I don't understand, why the \par must be redefined, is it because
\obeylines transforms newlines to paragraphs?
indeed, just comment the def and see what happens (you get a \par)
{\executesystemcommand{start d:/gnuplot/bin/pgnuplot #1.job}%
just {\executesystemcommand{gnuplot #1.job}%
here
It works well, but it's two time the cos-function, that gets included.
I think, one needs a counter as in my module, to get distinguished file
names for \externalfigure.
ah, add [object=no] in order to disable reuse

Hello Mojca,
if you are using Windows, you can install MinGW, it's free and bash is
included.
OK, that could be file for me and maybe for two others, but this can't
be a general solution. (Beginners wouldn't install it and the skilled
ones have linux anyway.)
that makes me a beginner
So my question for gurus remains: how to write a macro, so that
\startGnuplotinclusions
set title "trigonometry"
\stopGnuplotinclusions

plot sin(x)
\stopGnuplot
\startGnuplot

set output "filename1"
set title "trigonometry"
plot sin(x)
and the other one with
set terminal postscript
set output "filename2" # If too complicated, the filename may remain the same
why should it change
an option is to collect *all graphic data* and do it in one run, in
which case we can gain some speed
