Re: [O] Trying to get chart from table working

[Thierry Banel]

Do you get the following lines?
(you can erase them, they will be recreated).

  #+results:
  [[file:timeseries.pdf]]

If you click on the link, it should open okular or acrobat reader or 
whatever displaying the plot.

Otherwise you can try a different format, PNG for instance:

  #+begin_src gnuplot :var data=measurements :file timeseries.png 
:results inline
