Description Paul Komarek 2004-02-15 18:18:51 UTC

The built-in gnuplot help mentions several files which are missing from gentoo's gnuplot install.  I've seen these files (and used them) in other gnuplot installs, perhaps only on RedHat.  The missing files are *very* helpful for creating postscript plots (if, for example, you want to print or include your plots in a LaTeX doc).

The following files should be available in gnuplots docs/psdoc subdir.  gentoo doesn't even have such a subdir under /usr/share/doc/gnuplot-FOO, and I think that would be a good first step.

ps_symbols.ps
ps_guide.ps
ps_file.doc
ps_fontfile_doc.tex

I have not yet managed to find the same info in the .pdf file that is included under /usr/share/doc/gnuplot-FOO.
