Re: Calling plotutils from xemacs using Ruby GSL

Nuralanur

Just guessing ...
Maybe plotutils cannot be found because its path is not visible ?
What happens if you run the example from

_http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net/...
(http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net...) .

If that works out ok, you could execute the graph command
as an external command, eg. by including it in backticks or
by calling the system command ...

Best regards,

Axel

Thanks Axel:

This was my output, leaving me to believe I have bigger problems, or I'm
just using IRB incorrectly: Why would it see GSL okay but barf on the
include for GSL::Random?

Thanks for your time.

In Linux , after some modifications to rnd3.rb
ruby rnd3.rb | graph -Tps > g.ps
works and I can see the graph using Evince Document Viewer after
ps2pdfwr g.ps to covert it to g.pdf.

Modified rnd3.rb:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby


#require "GSL"
require "gsl"
require 'rbgsl'
#include GSL::Random
include GSL
#include RBGSL
# Test random number distributions
# generate output suitable for graph(1) from GNU plotutils:
# ruby test/rnd3.rb | graph -Tps > g.ps

STDERR.puts "Running tests for RND(3)..."
x = y = 0
a = []
r = Rng.new
#r = RND.new
puts "#m=1,S=2"
printf "%g %g\n", x, y
10.times do
# a = RND::dir_2d(r)
a = Ran::dir_2d(r)
x += a[0]
y += a[1]
printf "%g %g\n", x, y
end

Thanks for the education ,because of you
