Error message: messed up commands?

PetrKryslUCSD opened this issue 4 years ago · 5 comments

I tend to see these kinds of error messages when I plot, close the terminal, and plot again:

GNUPLOT (default) -> gnuplot> r
GNUPLOT (default) ->          ^
GNUPLOT (default) ->          line 843: invalid command
GNUPLOT (default) -> gnuplot> eset session
GNUPLOT (default) ->          ^
GNUPLOT (default) ->          line 843: invalid command

Is there some sort of reset command that I can use to eliminate these errors?

This seems to do the trick:
Gnuplot.exec("reset session")
I'm not sure if this is the right way, though. Any thoughts?

@PetrKryslUCSD Are you on windows? I ask because it's a known problem on that platform; see for example mbaz/Gaston.jl#136 (you need to scroll down towards the middle of the thread) or #29. The best solution I've found is to set your terminal to "windows".

I can confirm that switching to the "windows" terminal makes the problem go away. Thanks!

Sorry for the very late reply. I can't reproduce the issue on Linux.
Please consider closing the issue if you found the solution on windows.

Well, I fixed it on Windows by selecting the terminal "windows". I don't know if that is equivalent to fixing the issue, or simply finding a workaround.
