Manual path - no Windows Path
Closed this issue · 4 comments
how can i set a manual path - without using windows path for gnuplot?
this is a dead corner of the world - nice, but dead. One of the rubyists cemetary. rip
Still barely alive LOL. Wasn't there a pull request for it or some odd?

Didnt found any better - but solved also this one in the meantime. Thanks!
Methods and variables for interacting with the gnuplot process. Most of
these methods are for sending data to a gnuplot process, not for reading from
it. Most of the methods are implemented as added methods to the built in
classes.
require 'matrix'
module Gnuplot
Trivial implementation of the which command that uses the PATH environment
variable to attempt to find the given application. The application must
be executable and reside in one of the directories in the PATH environment
to be found. The first match that is found will be returned.
bin [String] The name of the executable to search for.
Return the full path to the first match or nil if no match is found.
def Gnuplot.which ( bin )
if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin|mingw/
all = [bin, bin + '.exe']
else
all = [bin]
end
for exec in all
if which_helper(exec)
return which_helper(exec)
end
end
return nil
end
def Gnuplot.which_helper bin
return bin if File::executable? bin
path = ENV['PATH']
path.split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).each do |dir|
candidate = File::join dir, bin.strip
return candidate if File::executable? candidate
end
# This is an implementation that works when the which command is
# available.
#
# IO.popen("which #{bin}") { |io| return io.readline.chomp }
return nil
end
Find the path to the gnuplot executable. The name of the executable can
be specified using the RB_GNUPLOT environment variable but will default to
the command 'gnuplot'.
persist [bool] Add the persist flag to the gnuplot executable
Return the path to the gnuplot executable or nil if one cannot be found.
def Gnuplot.gnuplot( persist = true )
exe_loc = which( ENV['RB_GNUPLOT'] || 'gnuplot' )
raise 'gnuplot executable not found on path' unless exe_loc
cmd = '"' + exe_loc + '"'
cmd += " -persist" if persist
cmd
end
Open a gnuplot process that exists in the current PATH. If the persist
flag is true then the -persist flag is added to the command line. The
path to the gnuplot executable is determined using the 'which' command.
See the gnuplot documentation for information on the persist flag.
todo Add a method to pass the gnuplot path to the function.
def Gnuplot.open( persist=true )
cmd = Gnuplot.gnuplot( persist )
IO::popen( cmd, "w+") { |io|
yield io
io.close_write
@output = io.read
}
return @output
end
Holds command information and performs the formatting of that command
information to a Gnuplot process. When constructing a new plot for
gnuplot, this is the first object that must be instantiated. On this
object set the various properties and add data sets.
class Plot
attr_accessor :cmd, :data, :settings
QUOTED = [ "title", "output", "xlabel", "x2label", "ylabel", "y2label", "clabel", "cblabel", "zlabel" ]
def initialize (io = nil, cmd = "plot")
@cmd = cmd
@settings = []
@arbitrary_lines = []
@data = []
yield self if block_given?
puts "writing this to gnuplot:\n" + to_gplot + "\n" if $VERBOSE
if io
io << to_gplot
io << store_datasets
end
end
attr_accessor :arbitrary_lines
# Invoke the set method on the plot using the name of the invoked method
# as the set variable and any arguments that have been passed as the
# value. See the +set+ method for more details.
def method_missing( methId, *args )
set methId.id2name, *args
end
# Set a variable to the given value. +Var+ must be a gnuplot variable and
# +value+ must be the value to set it to. Automatic quoting will be
# performed if the variable requires it.
#
# This is overloaded by the +method_missing+ method so see that for more
# readable code.
def set ( var, value = "" )
value = "\"#{value}\"" if QUOTED.include? var unless value =~ /^'.*'$/
@settings << [ :set, var, value ]
end
# Unset a variable. +Var+ must be a gnuplot variable.
def unset ( var )
@settings << [ :unset, var ]
end
# Return the current value of the variable. This will return the setting
# that is currently in the instance, not one that's been given to a
# gnuplot process.
def [] ( var )
v = @settings.rassoc( var )
if v.nil? or v.first == :unset
nil
else
v[2]
end
end
def add_data ( ds )
@data << ds
end
def to_gplot (io = "")
@settings.each do |setting|
io << setting.map(&:to_s).join(" ") << "\n"
end
@arbitrary_lines.each{|line| io << line << "\n" }
io
end
def store_datasets (io = "")
if @data.size > 0
io << @cmd << " " << @data.collect { |e| e.plot_args }.join(", ")
io << "\n"
v = @data.collect { |ds| ds.to_gplot }
io << v.compact.join("e\n")
end
io
end
end
Analogous to Plot class, holds command information and performs the formatting of that command
information to a Gnuplot process. Should be used when for drawing 3D plots.
class SPlot < Plot
def initialize (io = nil, cmd = "splot")
super
end
# Currently using the implementation from parent class Plot.
# Leaving the method explicit here, though, as to allow an specific
# implementation for SPlot in the future.
def to_gplot (io = "")
super
end
end
Container for a single dataset being displayed by gnuplot. Each object
has a reference to the actual data being plotted as well as settings that
control the "plot" command. The data object must support the to_gplot
command.
+data+ The data that will be plotted. The only requirement is that the
object understands the to_gplot method.
The following attributes correspond to their related string in the gnuplot
command. See the gnuplot documentation for more information on this.

OK looks like you can use environment variable "RB_GNUPLOT" does that satisfy your requirement?
