How to print from Gnuplot
Here's how to plot gnuplot graphs:
1. Plot the graph in the gnuplot window. Make sure it is what you wish to
print.
2. Type:
set output "filename"
The filename will be the name of the file you give to your plot.
Make sure that gnuplot was started from a writable directory,
such as your own. A full path may also be used in place of a
filename (e.g., /mit/user/gnuplots/filename).
3. Type:
set terminal postscript
Everything plotted after this point will be written in PostScript
format to the output file specified in '2'.
4. Type:
replot
This will replot the plot created in step '1' which will now
be written into the output file. 'plot' may also be used but
the output will be directed to file filename.
To make a plot into another file without first seeing it in a
window, just:
set output 'anotherfile'
and use plot, or replot.
5. Type:
set terminal xwindow
This will reset the terminal device so that subsequent plots
appear in the gnuplot window.
6. Send the file you saved to the printer:
lpr -Pprintername filename
