[SLUG] latex gnuplot missing colour
Hi any latex gurus out there, I am trying to get gnuplot to draw y= +/- sqrt(x/(x**2+1)) into a latex file using replot to get the positive and negative halves of the relation. On the screen (using set terminal X11) it comes out fine with the top half blue and the bottom half red. The latex plot comes out with only the top half drawn. Even the legend shows a solid line for the top half but no line for the bottom half. I have looked at the file but can not understand it well enough to see what the problem is. The file is too big to attach to this email but I would be happy to send it to anyone who thinks they might be able to help. TIA, Doug. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Are you putting it out as an eps file from gnuplot and pulling that into latex with \includegraphics or are you outputting from gnuplot latex drawing commands? i.e. what are you using for the 'set terminal' command in gnuplot for the output to go into latex?

The output file is in latex \picture format which is imported into the main tex-file.

Mike, I have used: set terminal X11 plot [x=-1:10] sqrt(x/(x**2 + 1)) set terminal latex set output eqn-aiv.tex replot -sqrt(x/(x**2 + 1)) Without the second last two lines (setting latex and output) this generates what I want on the screen with the upper, positive half in red and the lower half in green.

I usually 'set terminal fig' then manipulte the image in xfig and export as eps.

Re: [SLUG] latex gnuplot missing colour
for simple graphs, you might also want to look into "metapost". a little harder than gnuplot, but you have complete control over the output (its a drawing language, rather than a plotting tool). -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
