This was from back in the early 1980s, when languages didn't have those 
constants built in.

Excellent!  That was exactly what I was going to suggest.  Decades ago, 
the late Dan Alderson (The man who wrote JPL's main space probe 
navigation package.) told me that you should always use that because it 
gave you a value as precise as the computer could store.  Even now, I'd 
bet, most programmers don't understand that.

Yes,

Good luck.


How do you initialize pi?

I do not have.

I={0,1}
sqrt_pi = sqrt (pi)
z (x, y) = x + I * y
w (z) = faddeeva (z) / sqrt_pi # Normalized
plot real (w (z (x, 1)))

OK, let's try again.  Does the language you're using have pi as a built 
in constant, or do you have to define a variable and give it a value? 
In the latter case, what value do you give it?  It's more than idle 
curiosity, as some ways to give it a value are more precise than others.

Hello Ronaldo

Part of my code

I={0,1}
sqrt_pi = sqrt (pi)

z (x, y) = x + I * y
w (z) = faddeeva (z) / sqrt_pi # Normalized
plot real (w (z (x, 1))


Good luck.

If you have gnuplot installed with libcerf enabled, you should have
"cerf.dem", see:
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/cerf.html

Testing gnuplot with libcerf

2018-11-05 Thread Ronaldo Mercado
Hi,

I would like to test an update to gnuplot from bugzilla #1476616.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476616

I am using fedora 28 and I managed to install the package okay from copr
I don't know my way around gnuplot. I tried the simple plot from
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/simple.html

Do you have an example plot that uses the libcerf functions?

Thanks.

Ronaldo
