running gnuplot without popup/graphics
ilmsantos
I am using a perl script with embedded gnuplot commands to generate
multiple plot-picture files at every time step. I would like to know
how do I prevent the gnuplot plot window from popping up every time
step. It's annoying.
Thanks

Hard to tell if you don't show as much as single line of actual gnuplot
commands. The only reason for a plot window to pop up generally is a
plot command issued by you, with the terminal (still) set to the default
GUI driver. So don't do that.

(using gnuplot) to generate plot files without the plot command?

Setting aside "splot": of course not. But you read only half may
sentence: "plot command issued by you, with the terminal (still) set to
the default GUI driver".
And since you again didn't show any actual commands, that's about as
much as can be said about it.

tth@plop:~/Essais$ cat sinus.gplot
set term dumb 60 20
set output "sinus.txt"
plot sin(x)
tth@plop:~/Essais$ gnuplot sinus.gplot
tth@plop:~/Essais$ cat sinus.txt

An if you want a picture file :
set term gif
set output "sinus.gif"
plot sin(x)

Thank you all for the help. I was able to use the 'set term gif ..."
