Re: Displaying an animation / "movie"

[Jeff Miller]

Robert,
Thanks for the function. It works great for animated line plots, but I
still can't figure out how to show a series of images.

You said in the for loop I could use:
gsplot matrix

I have to admit I'm not very familiar with gnuplot, but I couldn't
find any references to such a command that would display an image.
What would be the exact command?

I have Gnuplot 4.0 ... maybe I need 4.1 to support the functionality
you're describing?

Thanks,
Jeff
