[OS X TeX] How to plot functions with PGF and TeXShop ?

[Peter Lichtner]

The problem may be that one needs to call gnuplotx rather than  
gnuplot. In a gnuplot script using the fink installation:

#!/sw/bin/gnuplotx -persist

The gnuplot command /sw/bin/gnuplot is the shell script:

#!/bin/sh
export AQUATERM_PATH=/sw/Applications/AquaTerm.app
case ${DISPLAY-0} in
0) export GNUTERM=aqua ;;
esac
/sw/bin/gnuplotx "$@"
