It's still out there in case you want to run gnuplot on your 286 unix pc: http://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume18/gl_plot Anyway, back to the new millenium. Yes you should definitely be able to control a gnuplot process with a connected PipeableOSProcess. That's what it is designed for. > Is there a clean way to start gnuplot, leave it running, write to its > stdin, read from its stdout almost as if it were a TCP server, and then > close it when I'm ready to do so? Sure, see PipeableOSProcess class>>tkExample for an example of how to do this. Use /usr/bin/gnuplot instead of /usr/bin/wish of course. However (and this is a big caveat at the moment), OSProcess and CommandShell currently do not work properly on Pharo for reasons that I don't yet understand. So definitely check out Levente's suggestion as a first step. > I tried running CommandShell thinking > that might let me demo it, but appears to be stuck back in MVC?? CommandShell has user interfaces for both Morphic and MVC. Pharo does not have MVC, but that should not effect the Morphic side, other than the annoyance of having to skip over the errors when you load it. Dave

[Pharo-project] Printing block contents in inspector, debugger

by CÃ©drick BÃ©ler

Hi, http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1450 I find annoying that the content of Blocks are not displayed when debugging. So by adding this last line, I can see the content without variable names (but that's ok to me) BlockClosure>>printOn: aStream aStream nextPutAll: '[closure] in '. outerContext printOn: aStream. aStream cr; nextPutAll: self decompile printString. What do you think of it ? Has the decompile method some limitations that will prevent to use it for such a usage ? A variation (second file): BlockClosure>>printOn: aStream aStream nextPutAll: self decompile printString. aStream nextPutAll: ' in '. outerContext printOn: aStream. that gives by inspecting [1000 factorial]: {[1000 factorial]} in UndefinedObject>>DoIt --- When it's not very nice is when inspecting: [:x :y | | temp | 1 + x@y. ^temp] {[:t1 :t2 | | t3 | 1 + t1 @ t2. ^ t3]} in UndefinedObject>>DoIt so here maybe the first version is better. Last point, I don't know how to get the real variable names and also how to remove the code formatting, but that's details. Thanks -- CÃ©drick

[Pharo-project] broken package browser

by Tudor Girba

The package browser is broken in the 10495 dev image. For some reason, the cmdFactories array contained nil objects, so I had to patch it: scanNodeCommands: ann (cmdFactories select: [:ea | ea notNil and: [ea takesNodes]]) do: [:ea | ann addFactory: ea] I am not sure whether the problem is really in OB or in the image. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Obvious things are difficult to teach."

[Pharo-project] OSProcess - working on gnuplot

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Dave, I am slowly gathering ideas on how to write an interface to gnuplot. It will probably be enough to use PipeableOSPRocess class>>command: to grab output from it, but it will be inefficient for producing large numbers of graphs. Ideally, I would like to run the program and obtain output without creating so much as a named pipe; it appears to be possible to route output to standard out, so there is a potential for it to work. For a single graph, think I see how to make that go. For large numbers of graphs, one could allow gnuplot to write the files; that might even be preferred in many situations, but right now I appear to be designing that way because I don't know another way - I'm trying to leave Windows behind me :) Is there a clean way to start gnuplot, leave it running, write to its stdin, read from its stdout almost as if it were a TCP server, and then close it when I'm ready to do so? I tried running CommandShell thinking that might let me demo it, but appears to be stuck back in MVC?? Bill
