Export gnuplot png

How to "export" a graph to png or something pasted into Word? I know there are a dozen tutorials on the net, but I am having a hard time finding a simple example.

Follow these;

Once you're happy with your plot, set the output terminal type to Postscript. ''

gnuplot> install postscript terminal

The graphics will be written in Postscript format, the language our printers understand, instead of the format understood by the windowing system. Then provide a filename for postscript output.

gnuplot> set output 'myfile.ps'

Then write your plot to a file by doing a relay.



gnuplot> replot

To send Postscript file to printer, use lpr shell command ( OPTIONAL )

$ lpr myfile.ps

If you want to continue working with the graph in the graphics window, you will need to return the output and terminal settings to normal by typing

gnuplot> install terminal x11

gnuplot> set output

Great tutorial here

In windows you can

install terminal windows

to output to the window. Further to output png,



install terminal png

This should work with native gnuplot binaries.

Recording

set terminal pngcairo
set output output.png

And gnuplot should be written to a file named output.png

.
