Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.0.0-5
Severity: normal
Hi!
Suppose you have a data file called "foo.dat" (the actual content is
irrelevant):
0 4
1 3
2 2
3 1
4 0
When someone uses gnuplot with "foo.gp" as input file, everything works
fine and gnuplot generates "foo.eps":
set term post eps enhanced
set out "foo.eps"
set data style linespoints
set xtic ("0" 0,"1" 1,"2" 2, "3" 3, "4" 4)
# this works as expected
plot "foo.dat" title "foo"
But if the comment line right before the plot function has a '\'
character at the end, gnuplot silently rejects the input file and
doesn't create the resp. eps file:
set term post eps enhanced
set out "foo.eps"
set data style linespoints
set xtic ("0" 0,"1" 1,"2" 2, "3" 3, "4" 4)
# this doesn't work due to escape char --> \
plot "foo.dat" title "foo"
Best regards,
Thomas Krennwallner
