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.
The purpose of sending Gnuplot output data to a different directory is to organize and manage data files in a specific location, separate from the Gnuplot script or code. This allows for easier access and manipulation of the data for further analysis or sharing with others.
To specify the output directory for Gnuplot data, you can use the set terminal command followed by the desired directory path. For example: set terminal png enhanced font 'Arial,10' size 800,600; set output '/path/to/output/file.png' This will save the output data in the specified directory.
Yes, you can change the output directory during a Gnuplot session by using the set output command followed by the new directory path. This will override the previous output directory and save the data in the new location.
To check the current output directory in Gnuplot, you can use the show output command. This will display the current output directory in the terminal or command line interface.
Yes, you can specify a relative path for the output directory in Gnuplot. This means that the path will be relative to the location of the Gnuplot script or code. For example, set output 'data/output/file.png' will save the output data in the "output" folder within the "data" folder, relative to the location of the script.
