Support 'windows' terminal type.

[aero]

HI,
In Strawberry Perl 5.20 PDL edition
http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.20.0.1/strawberry-perl-5.20.0.1-32bit-PDL.zip
http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.20.0.1/strawberry-perl-5.20.0.1-64bit-PDL.zip

@kmx ( https://github.com/kmx ) puts his own compiled gnuplot 4.6.5 binary in that files.
It only supports 'windows' terminal type.
(it seems that it is different from the official gnuplot distribution http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.6.5/ which support 'wxt' terminal type.)

but PDL::Graphics::Simple supports 'x11' and 'wxt'.

Can PDL::Graphics::Simple support 'windows' terminal type?

Hi aero,

I don't know the answer to the question - but I have 2 observations:

1. There's nothing to stop you using the "official gnuplot distribution".
   (You probably already know that :-)

2. If it turns out that the version that kmx has provided is deficient in
   some way, please let him know - for future reference.

Cheers,
Rob

It doesn't currently support "windows" terminal type -- but it's an easy fix to fail over to it. I'll put it on the to-do list.

OK, I've pushed up a patch that supports the windows type. See if that works for you on your platform.

Cheers,
Craig

Hi,
I tried.
but I got the following error message.

Hmmm...

OK, it appears that the "windows" terminal doesn't support the "persist" option. I went ahead and added a switch to support terminals without that option (windows and aero). Give that a whirl. It may fail the interactive test "window disappeared". If so, I'd appreciate any input you may have on how to destroy a 'windows' terminal display window.

Cheers,
Craig

Hi,
I tried again. I still got the same error message.
There are no gnuplot pop-up window and "windows disappreared" error.

[drzowie]

Hmmm...

Could you try this?

perldl> use PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot;
perldl> $w=gpwin(windows,size=>[5,5],title=>"foo",font=>"=16");

If that succeeds, great!
If it fails, please let me know the error message.

Cheers,
Craig

pdl> $w=gpwin(windows,size=>[5,5],title=>"foo",font=>"=16");
Compile error: Bareword "windows" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at
(eval 410) line 5, line 164.

However this sequence works nice:

pdl> use PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot
pdl> $w=gpwin("windows",size=>[5,5],title=>"foo",font=>"=16")
pdl> $x = sequence(101) - 50
pdl> $w->plot($x**2)

I'm going to close this on the assumption that the above (and patches on master by Craig) fixed this. I will be releasing an updated version to CPAN shortly (as soon as I've fixed https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86275), and will ask you to try that and report issues!
