Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How can I draw plots in LaTeX?

[maxmax]

Hi,

fortunately, i'm using MikTeX and gnuplot, too, since last week. Unfortunately, I have no problems with your example in texworks!

Did you check the PATH-thing when you installed gnuplot?

Regards,
Max

I did.


Did you cange some location of any files or did you rename any files at gnuplot?

Can you please upload your log file?(perhaps using the example I post at the beggining)

[maxmax]

No, i did not change a thing. It worked out of the box for me. Attached is my log file of your example. As you can see, calling gnuplot works fine.

Stupid question, but did you check that you use the same profile (pdfLaTeX) where you added "--enable-write18" to compile the tex file? There are e.g. "pdfTeX", which one might mix up with each other.
Edit: oh sorry, that would obviously not work
But my first line of the file seems different than yours.

[ditka]

Do you use windows or linux or something else?


Yes I did make wrigt profile(pdfLatex)



And somethig else, what picture do you get when you call gnuplot from comand line?(I get diffrent picture, than it is when I use program normaly: see atacment)

[maxmax]

Its exactly the same for me. You could try to remove MikTeX as well as gnuplot and reinstall both. Sorry, but i dont know what else to do. Alternatively you could use another Editor (like TeXstudio, which is my favorite editor) and see if the problem still exists there.

I have alredy tried that, I get the same output. Do you use windos?

[ditka]

Problem fixed. I indeed use wrong profile:

I change and it worked:

Does anybody know, how can I use polar plot, using gnuplot and latex. Gnuplot itself can plot polar equations, which command should be used in latex?

[ditka]

It worked with parametric, but still not with polar. Is it possible to draw all the pictures gnuplot can do with latex?

And what thas id stnads for(in exmaple)?

Since now there are already 70 posts in this topic about the technical issue with using LaTeX and gnuplot together (I guess correct advice, but just applied to the wrong output profile), I suggest you open a new topic dealing with the subject of polar plots. Otherwise the new question is hard to find at page 7 of a different issue.
