SUMMARY

To send Gnuplot output data to a different directory, use relative paths or absolute paths in your commands. For instance, using "../output" allows you to navigate up one directory level to save output in "something/data/output" from "something/data/input". Alternatively, specifying the full directory path directly is also effective. This method ensures that input and output files are organized separately, enhancing workflow efficiency.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Gnuplot commands
  • Familiarity with file system navigation in command-line interfaces
  • Knowledge of relative and absolute paths
  • Experience with directory structure management
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Gnuplot output formatting options
  • Learn about Gnuplot scripting for automated data processing
  • Investigate file management best practices in command-line environments
  • Review Gnuplot documentation for advanced output configurations
USEFUL FOR

Data analysts, scientists, and engineers who utilize Gnuplot for data visualization and require efficient file management strategies.

I have a simple question about Gnuplot: How do I send my output data to a different directory than my working (current) directory? I'd rather not have my input and output data in the same directory.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
".." means "go up a directory"

For example, if you are working in the directory "something/data/input", "../output" will refer to the directory "something/data/output".

Or you can just specify the full directory path to begin with.
 
Ha! I know this thread is old, but I didn't see your response until now. Thanks, Dunhausen!
