\begin_layout Title
LyX gnuplot scripting example
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This is a sample LyX file showing a Graphics inset including a simple gnuplot
 script, that is auto-converted when previewing on-screen and when formatting
 for PDF or other output format.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This can be inserted using the menu 
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Graphics
\family default
 then choosing a gnuplot script with either 
\family typewriter
.gp
\family default
 or 
\family typewriter
.gnuplot
\family default
 extension.
 You should see a plot just below this text.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Graphics
	filename gnuplot-example.gp

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you don't see it, there are basically a few possible causes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
you don't have Gnuplot installed
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
you have on-screen graphics display disabled; this can be checked/enabled
 with menu 
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences,
\family default
 pane 
\family sans
Look & feel\SpecialChar menuseparator
Display,
\family default
 then ensuring that the option 
\family sans
Display graphics
\family default
 is enabled
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
you have 
\family typewriter
needauth
\family default
 converters completely disabled/forbidden (gnuplot is among this type of
 converters, more information is available at 
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
target "https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10481"
literal "false"

\end_inset

); these can be re-enabled from the menu 
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
Preferences,
\family default
 pane 
\family sans
File Handling\SpecialChar menuseparator
Converters\SpecialChar menuseparator
Security
\family default
, then ensuring that the option 
\family sans
Forbid use of needauth converters
\family default
 is unchecked
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
even though you have 
\family typewriter
needauth
\family default
 converters enabled, you denied permission to run the Gnuplot script included
 in this sample document when you first opened it, and you got a prompt
 dialog on screen; in such case, close the document and open it again, then
 answer 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Run
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in that prompt dialog
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
