AI Thread Summary
The user experienced issues with axis labels disappearing when using the epslatex terminal in gnuplot. Initially, they believed there was a problem with their gnuplot code, but later discovered that the issue stemmed from only viewing the .dvi file. The solution involved converting the .dvi file to a .ps file to properly view the output. After making this change, the graphs displayed correctly with all labels intact. This highlights the importance of checking the correct output file format when troubleshooting gnuplot issues.

Hey, this might be the wrong place to ask this question but I have a few problems using gnuplot. The problem is that when using the epslatex terminal my labels on the axis dissapears.

This is the code I am using
Code:
set terminal latex or epslatex color or wxt
set output "psifunc.tex"
h = 1.054571628E-34
psi(x) = 1/((pi*h)**(1.0/4.0))*exp(-1/(2*h)*x**2)
set title ''
set format xy '$%g$'
set ylabel 'Sannolikhetstathet'
set xlabel '$A$'
set xrange [-4*sqrt(h/2):4*sqrt(h/2)]
set xtics ('$-4\sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2}}$' -4*sqrt(h/2),\
     '$-2\sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2}}$' -2*sqrt(h/2),\
     '0' 0,\
     '$2\sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2}}$' 2*sqrt(h/2),\
     '$4\sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2}}$' 4*sqrt(h/2)) nomirror
plot psi(x)**2 title '$|\psi_1(A)|^2$'
unset output

And here are the results:

Don't really know why it is not working. It seems to work fine in the other terminals.

I figured it out but it is almost too embarrasing to say what I did wrong..

There was nothing wrong with my gnuplot code. The problem was I was only looking at the freaking .dvi file. What you need to do is run .dvi --> .ps and then watch the .ps file and everything will work.

Here are the graphs when I got it to work:
