Bill, I tried these tests in jconsole on OpenSUSE 11.4:
~/j64-701/bin> ./jconsole
load'plot'
plot 20?20
which: no google-chrome in
(/usr/local/Argyll_V1.3.5/bin:/home/me/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin)
which: no chromium in
(/usr/local/Argyll_V1.3.5/bin:/home/me/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin)
CONSOLEOUTPUT_jzplot_=:'gtk'
plot 20?20
CONSOLEOUTPUT_jzplot_=:'pdf'
plot 20?20
sh: /usr/bin/evince: No such file or directory
The default setting opened a browser with a good looking png plot. gtk opened
a
gtk plot window that looked fine. pdf failed with the above message.
It looks like I need to track down and install evince.
