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:
