Re: cygwin gnuplot (CVS) can be used from mingw-octave-3.0.0 (mouse zoomin active!!)

Hi 

I did not enough time because I have to leave the home.
So the below is quite rough and rewrite it.


I found that cygwin gnuplot (CVS) can be used from mingw-octave-3.0.0 if you 
have already 
installed or you want to install the cygwin.
 
Here I limited for the case of mingw-octave-3.0.0 using under the msys 
because I have not tested without msys case.

Download the cygwin gnuplot (CVS),
http://www.geocities.jp/tmacchant/additional.html

and install it according to the explanation there.

Please save the below script as 'octavex11' in /usr/local/octave-3.0.0/bin
*********
#! /bin/sh

# This is test script using cygwin gnuplot_x11 4.3 (cvs) to use mouse 
facilities 
# 2008-02-07 by Tatsuro MATSUOKA
#
# The setting is for my case.
# Please customize the below according to your environments
#
# In my setting the cygwin is installed in c:\Programs\cygwin and
# the msys is installed in c:\Programs\msys\1.0.
# The mingw-octave-3.0.0 is installed /usr/local/octave-3.0.0
#
export \
PATH=$PATH:/c/Programs/cygwin/usr/local/gnuplot4.3/bin:/c/Programs/cygwin/usr/local/gnuplot4.3/libexec/gnuplot/4.3:/c/Programs/cygwin/bin:/c/Programs/cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
#
/usr/local/octave-3.0.0/bin/octave --persist --eval 'gnuplot_binary("gnuplot")';

The above script file is attached to this mail.

>From the msys prompt, you type

$octavex11

The following is the snapshot,

This allow us to use mouse zooming on 2D plots and mouse rotating 3D plots.

Note: As X server, I recommend the Xming but not Cygwin-X.
The Cygwin-X is obsolate and slower than Xming.
See

Download Xming and Xming-fonts
 
I will describe the above in my web in the near future.
