for loop with parametric plots in gnuplot
问题 I am trying to plot multiple parametric curves in gnuplot 4.6. In an earlier version (4.4?), the commands set para plot [-pi:pi] for [a=1:10] a*cos(t),a*sin(t) would result in ten circles centered at the origin with radius 1, 2, ..., 10. In 4.6, the result is one circle of radius 1. In 4.6, the commands unset para plot [-pi:pi] for [a=1:10] a*sin(x) yield ten beautiful sine curves. So, it appears that the "for" command now has a problem with parametric curve plotting, I guess. Does anyone
