Hi 

Hoping that someone can help me here. I have been reading about gnuplot and
it's plotting functionality, so i decided to install this: I downloaded the
gnuplot windows function and then installed the gnuplot.py file using the
setut.py and install command all worked. I also installed the numeric python.

I start by a simple example below and then I get stuck...

>>> import Gnuplot, Gnuplot.funcutils
>>> from Numeric import *
>>> g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
>>> g.plot([[0,1.1], [1,5.8], [2,3.3], [3,4.2]])


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    g.plot([[0,1.1], [1,5.8], [2,3.3], [3,4.2]])
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Gnuplot\_Gnuplot.py", line 274, in
plot
    self.refresh()
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Gnuplot\_Gnuplot.py", line 215, in
refresh
    self(self.plotcmd + ' ' + string.join(plotcmds, ', '))
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Gnuplot\_Gnuplot.py", line 199, in
__call__
    self.gnuplot(s)
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Gnuplot\gp_win32.py", line 125, in
__call__
    self.write(s + '\n')
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Has someone experienced the same issue above if so did you manage to overcome
it?

Much appreciated if someone can help solve this issue for me.

Thanks

Ray
