GNUPlot disappears immediately after its creation

Question

I have created the gnuplot, but the problem is that it disappears immediately. I tried different solutions proposed in other threads, but none of them worked. S

Answer 1

Unfortunately this seems to be a bug in gnuplot under windows. See this bug report.

If you want this type of functionality, you have two options:

1. use CygWin version of gnuplot
2. save the result to a file, or use the JPlot swing component.

EDIT: There is a new version of JavaPlot which should fix this issue.

Answer 2

Look into the -persist option to pass to gnuplot, you could probably change the third line in your code to

GNUPlot gp = new GNUPlot("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\gnuplot\\bin\\pgnuplot.exe -persist");

or

GNUPlot gp = new GNUPlot("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\gnuplot\\bin\\pgnuplot.exe /noend");
