Created attachment 524863 [details] tar of test + data Description of problem: There seems to be a problem with the command parser in the F14 gnuplot version (gnuplot-4.4.0-5.fc14.i686), which is not present in earlier or later versions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnuplot-4.4.0-5.fc14.i686 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. drop the attached file into a working directory and untar it: one script and two data files 2. from a terminal on the desktop, enter gnuplot 3. enter load "plot" Actual results: Terminal responds with an error, and only one of the two shapes is drawn: gnuplot> load "test" gnuplot> splot "p0" with points 2 , "p1" with points 3 ^ "test", line 7: ';' expected Expected results: Two shapes should be drawn into the 3d drawing space Additional info: The gnuplot code was originally written on an old FC install. It also works on F15, so I suspect that it's just the ".0" package that's broken.
Hi Tim, I am looking into this, and I see that this test doesn't work on F16 and later (gnuplot 4.4 and 4.6). What should the numbers 2 and 3 represents? According to the official documentation [1] page 90, you are missing the keyword before that numbers.. peter [1] http://www.gnuplot.info/docs_4.6/gnuplot.pdf
Hi Peter, I see what you mean. iirc, the numbers represent the point types. I'd guess that if the manual's been like this for some time, then I misread it and it worked despite my bad code. If I insert the pt, it seems ok. I cannot even find a copy of the manual that supports my code, so it must be my mistake. Tim
Thanks Tim. I am closing this as NOTABUG. peter
