My experience is that you can use plot from jconsole to display a plot
load 'plot'
plot +./~ i:15
And that you can save an image directly to pdf (without displaying it first).
('output pdf ',jpath '~temp/myplot.pdf') plot */~ i:15
However the "save" options that should let you save to a image file
don't seem to be working (and gtk doesn't seem to honour the "visible
0" setting) in either jconsole:
load 'plot'
('output gtk ;save png ',jpath '~temp/myplot.png') plot +./~ i:15
|rank error: l
| glqwh__l y[[l=.locGL2_jgl2_
pd 'reset'
pd 'visible 0'
pd +./~ i:15
pd 'gtk' NB. displays gtk plot in window
0
pd 'save png' NB. had to close gtk plot to return control to jconsole
|locale error: glqwh
| glqwh__l y[[l=.locGL2_jgl2_
or Gtk IDE:
load 'plot'
plot +./~ i:15
pd 'save png' NB. with Plot window still open
|value error: gtk_pixbuf_new_from_data_jgtk_
| buf=.
gtk_pixbuf_new_from_data_jgtk_(15!:14<'d'),GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB_jgtk_,1,8,w,h,(4*w),0,0
