Hi,

Thanks Stuart, completely right this should do the trick. The PGPLOT_DIR environment var is set either as a system or user variable already and should have done the trick...

Hassina: Try placing the PGPLOT_FONT var in the "opposite" enviroment variable cathegory. (If you don't know how to set environment vars in Vista, please locate a windows expert at ORNL ;) )

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Hassina,

Looks like it might be that you need to set the PGPLOT_FONT environment variable to point to the location of your grfont.dat file.

Cheers
Stu

Hello Peter,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I get an error message saying it is not able to read the font file: grfont.dat
%/PGPLOT, Unable to read the font file: grfont.dat

When I check the font on the Perl window, it is Arial Regular 128 in size and I cannot change it.
Here is a screen shot of one of the very first plot (the source):

Thanks for your help!

Anyone has experienced the absence of axis information after plotting? I do not see any axis title, numbering. Even on the color scale on the side, there is zero info.

Thanks!


Is any error message printed to the console when this happens?



Could you perhaps post a zip archive with the problematic output data?



Regards,



Peter Willendrup
