Hello everybody,

today I rebuild pyFoam and now I get the following error on my new machine:

shorty@shorty:~/OpenFOAM/shorty-2.3.x/run/2014/p_rgh$ pyFoamPlotWatcher.py log --with-courant

Why is there a converting problem? Do anyone know that kind of error message?

Hi,

I guess it's not a problem with pyFoam but a problem with installed version of gnuplot. Do as it suggests: execute gnuplot, issue "set terminal" command, and look for the terminal name (if it really has x11 terminal type). Maybe you'll need to install gnuplot-X11 package or something similar.

Hi, I looked into the Gnuplot installation guide and found that what you mentioned.

Have to investigate to gnuplot-x11 package ...

Thanks

I solved this problem in Debian 7 (Wheezy) by installing gnuplot-x11 package.

#apt-get install gnuplot-x11

It removed gnuplot-nox, which was previously installed.

The same worked also for Ubuntu 14.04.

I had the plain gnuplot package installed and I got the same error messages as Tobi. After installing gnuplot-x11, which removed gnuplot-nox, everything worked.

I faced the same problem with PlotRunner and after installing gnuplot-x11 the problem was solved. Now Im trying to do some plotting using regular expressions and the problem reappeared. Im following this tutorial http://openfoamwiki.net/images/7/7a/...icTraining.pdf.

After I run the command pyFoamPlotWatcher.py PyFoamRunner.reactingFoam.logfile --with-all,I get all the graphs, but not the one specified in the regular expression file.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I figured out the problem. It was my regular expression that was not being found in the output file.

Thanks

Reading regular expression from customRegexp

Hello everyone,
I've encountered same problem with pyFoamPlotRunner.py.
But, now set terminal X11 was deprecated for gnuplot.
Is there way around this issue? Maybe setting different set terminal in pyFoam?
