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 (Text):

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.

Perhaps try using epslatex, or gnuplot epslatex. If you figure out what is causing the problem, it would be great if you let us know how you fixed it.

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:
