[Haskell-beginners] EasyPlot on Windows

[Gregory Guthrie]

Thanks; good idea - but nope.

I'd file a report to EasyPlot, but not sure where to do that.

Older discussions on this issue note that there is a "persist" option for gnuplot, but I didn't yet see how to pass that to try it.

My first hunch was that, since the program ends right after plotting, it cleans up the plot window and exits. But trying it on an X11 system, I got a persistent window despite the program exiting. That may be a difference between Unix and Windows child process handling; I don't have a Windows machine handy right now to test, but you could try this:

main = do
  plot Windows $ Data2D [Title "Demo Title"] [] tData
  _ <- getLine
  return ()

If that doesn't fix it, my only guess is there's either a difference between the Unix and Windows versions of gnuplot, or a bug in easyplot's Windows handling.
