set term latex

[Stephan Böhme]

Hi there,

a few days ago I downloaded the GNUplot version 3.7. Until now I used 3.5
with its feature 'set terminal latex'. Now I wonder where this terminal type
in 3.7 is gone. Or do I need something additional to export to LaTeX code?

Thanks in advance
Stephan

It's still there. It may not be activated in the binary you
downloaded, but it's still in the code.

OTOH, it should only ever be inactive in the tiny 16bit builds for DOS
and Windows. Do you really run on such a platform? If so, you'll
have to compile your own gnuplot with the latex terminal enabled, if
you really need it.

I'd advise against this terminal driver, though. It's just too
limited in its set of supported features. In particular, the numbers
of different line and point types are just *too* small. Try "pslatex"
instead, or just plain PostScript output.
