使用 Gnuplot 时缺少终端“png”

Question

我使用的是 Xubuntu 13.10，我通过手动编译安装了 gnuplot。但是，当我测试“情节”的功能时，它得到了一个错误：

$ python PlotSccDistr.py                            

set terminal png size 1000,800
             ^
"scc.example.plt", line 16: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list

如果我想设置终端png，但在我的列表中没有找到“png”：

$ gnuplot

Answer 1

png 终端不可用的原因是它是基于 libgd 的终端以及 jpeg 和 gif。对于这些终端，gnuplot 需要 libgd 版本 >= 2.0。为了让它可用，你必须先安装GD Graphics Library：

$ sudo apt-get install libgd2-dev

然后安装 gnuplot 并检查 png 终端是否存在：

gnuplot> set terminal

Available terminal types:
              ...
              gif  GIF images using libgd and TrueType fonts
              ...
             jpeg  JPEG images using libgd and TrueType fonts
              ...
              png  PNG images using libgd and TrueType fonts
              ...

让我获得 PNG 终端的方法是输入 sudo apt-get install libgd2-noxpm-dev 然后重新编译并重新安装 gnuplot。

Answer 3

我在 Linux mint（基于 ubuntu 16.04）上安装了 gnuplot5.2.2，并设法在 set terminal 中获得了 png。

我安装了这个库。

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libgd-dev

然后我重新运行 ./configure 然后 make、make 检查和 make install。

在阅读 ./configure 的输出时，cairo 似乎确实是必要的，正如上面问题的 cmets 中 https://stackoverflow.com/users/2604213/christoph 所提到的那样。

这是运行./configure后的配置总结

在 Fedora 27 中，您可以通过安装 gnuplot-wx.x86_64 来解决此问题：gnuplot 的 Qt 接口：

sudo dnf install gnuplot-wx
