Description

Gnuplot is a command-line driven graphing utility supporting many types of plots in either 2D and 3D. It can draw using lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated text. It also supports various specialized plot types as well as many different types of output: interactive screen terminals (with mouse and hotkey input), direct output to pen plotters or modern printers, and output to many file formats (eps, emf, fig, jpeg, LaTeX, pdf, png, postscript, ...). Gnuplot is easily extensible to include new output modes.

Usage

Upcoming modulesystem change alert!

Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.

You can test the new version now by adding a line

source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules

to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of gnuplot and load default version of gnuplot as

module avail gnuplot/ # list available modules
module load gnuplot   # load (default) module


If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by

module avail gnuplot

and choose explicit version you want to use.

If you need to work interactively and have a graphical program output, it is necessary to use the provided graphical environment.

Notice: This application use or needs GUI – graphical interface. To use the application in graphical mode see Remote desktop or X-Window.
