Description Christian Trippe 2009-04-16 18:29:00 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.2 (like Gecko) SUSE

The gnuplot manual mentions a pdf terminal (which was also present in openSUSE 11.0 if I remember correctly), however it is not available with gnuplot shipped with openSUSE 11.1.

gnuplot-4.2.3-5.114

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter gnuplot
2.set terminal pdf

Actual Results:  
unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list

Expected Results:  
working pdf output

This would require libpdf and AFIAK the libpdf has some problems with its
licenses ... it is *not* open source.
