How to plot png in gnuplot

[Popy]

Hi all,

I collected the system details with sar and other utilities. Can someone tell me how to generate .png files with this ?

Here is where I am.....

Hi Raneesh

I didn't get ur question completly...!!
I think below link will help you. It says

Output to a file

By selecting a different terminal type, it is possible to output to a large number of graphic formats, you can get a full list by typing 'set term', lets ouput this graph using the png terminal (Portable network graphics).

gnuplot> set terminal png
Terminal type set to 'png'
Options are ' small color'

This tells us that we set the terminal type to png with the default options small and color. 'set term' gives a list of the different options for each terminal type.

We need to supply a filename for the output, this is done using the command 'set out ', then simply replot the graph and voila!

gnuplot> set output 'sin_graph.png'
