Re: [Gretl-users] kde4 view LaTeX problem

Testing gretl on my new Pardus2009 system, I noticed that KDE4 uses
the Okular program for viewing various files including DVI's. However,
(after setting okular in the preferences-->Programs menu) LaTeX
tabulars and equations cannot be viewed because upon opening, okular
gives the error "cannot open .../.gretl/window" I can see that there
is a window.dvi file in that location and okular can open it
correctly.
Traditional DVI viewers are dedicated, and don't require the
".dvi" suffix. OK, Okular does require the suffix. Fixed in CVS.
Also, when I close a 3D Plot window, the little "gnuplot: type q
to
quit" window stays open. When I close the gnuplot window, the plot
correctly disappears with the gnuplot window though.
Is there a way to avoid this gnuplot window altogeter?
I was going to say "No", but that's not entirely true. It depends
on which gnuplot "terminal" type is being used to display the 3d
plot interactively on the X window system. In current gnuplot
there are two possibilities, the x11 term and the wxt term
(WxWidgets). Up till now I've been forcing use of the x11 term,
since when I last checked wxt was too slow and jerky at rotating
the plot. But I see that's now fixed, so I've enabled wxt.
Anyway, the x11 driver needs a controlling terminal, so we can't
get rid of that little box, but wxt works fine without. Bottom
line: if your gnuplot is sufficiently up to date you won't see
that little terminal window again.
Finally, defining a 3D plot, the GUI lets me choose a variable three
times and then gives the error that it is "duplicated" It would be
nice if the error message was more accurate and the variable is erased
from the list once it is chosen for 2 axes.
The error message is perfectly accurate (triplication nests
duplication) but it's not appropriate. There's no reason you
shouldn't be able to graph a variable against itself in 3
dimensions if you really want to. Fixed in CVS.
Allin.
