Notes
On 2009-12-03, it is found that 'bin' directory (folder) is special directry when executables (wgnuplot.exe, gnuplot.exe, ...) are saved there. Now the directory name where the executables are saved is 'binary'. The directory 'bin' is usually used for directory structure in unix softwares. I appreciate Petr Mikulik for his indication.
If the excutable are saved in the 'bin' directory, one should move all contents in binary/share and binary/etc in current distribution to move to bin/../share and bin/../etc (i.e. the 'share' and 'etc' directories should be placed in the same hierarchy as the 'bin' directory).
This special treatment for 'bin' directry is useful for if you use gnuplot installing into softwares which have unixy directory structures, for example, GNU octave.
If you have place etc/font/fonts.conf (configure file of fontconfig) not to default directory (folder), please set environmental variable 'FONTCONFIG_PATH'
For gd related related terminals (png,gif,jpeg terminals) do not forget set GDFONTPATH environmental variable. For other path related environmental variables, for example, GNUPLOT_PS_DIR, GNUPLOT_JS_DIR and GNUPLOT_LUA_DIR, please refer gnuplot help or manual in details.
For windows Vista and windows 7, the help file wgnuplot.hlp which is archived in gp45-winbin.zip and gp45-winbin-wxt-diff.zip cannot be used in default setting. Please download and install "Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows Vista and Windows 7" from the Microsoft web site
Before using help, you once need to log on your PC as an administrator
and remove the "access vorbidden" flag on the help file by right-click the icon
of wgnuplot.hlp. (Because I do not use Windows Vista nor 7,
I do not warrant the above description.)
A gnuplot manual in pdf style (gnuplot.pdf) is placed in the gp45-winbin.zip on this HP. A manual, gnuplot.pdf can also be obtained in the following:
