gnuplot 中的 pdfcairo 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type'

pdfcairo 'unknown or ambiguous terminal type' in gnuplot

将 gnuplot 从 4.6 升级到 5.0.1 后,我遇到以下错误:

set terminal pdfcairo size 3.0in,2.25in font ',8'
             ^
"plot.plt", line 114: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list

我该如何解决?

PS: pdfcairo 在以前的版本 (4.6) 中工作正常。

我通过以下命令安装 gnuplot:

#build it:
./configure --with-cairo 
make

#install it:
sudo make install

GNUPLOT Version 5.0.1 Release Notes中所述,默认包含pdfcairo

Cairo/pango/wxWidgets This set of terminals includes

pngcairo, pdfcairo, epscairo, and cairolatex for output to a file

wxt for interactive display All of these will be built by default if the configuration script finds the required libcairo, libpango, libcairo, libwxgtk, and related support libraries To disable these terminals:

./configure --without-cairo ./configure --with-cairo --disable-wxt

我用@Christoph 的善意提醒修复了它。

要解决此问题,请通过以下命令为 基于 cairo 的终端 安装依赖库:

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

然后再次编译gnuplot:

#build it:
cd gnuplot-5.0.1 ; ./configure ; make

#install it:
sudo make install

现在,一切都很好。享受吧:-)
