Gaston does not seem to be working with gnuplot 5.4

[jleman]

I tried upgrading to the latest version of gnuplot 5.4.3 (January 2022). Executing a plot function results in apparently indefinite execution. I'm using Julia versions 1.6.3 and 1.7.1 and Jupyter notebook 6.4.0. Here was my test snippet. No error message is produced, it just continues processing with no output.

using Gaston
x = 1:0.1:10
y = 1:0.1:10
plot(x,y)

What OS? What is the latest version of gnuplot that works for you?

I test on Linux, and 5.4.3 works for me.

OS is Windows 10. gnuplot version 5.2.8 works.

Please try setting the terminal to windows:

set(term="windows")
plot(1:10)

Gnuplot 5.4 introduced some changes in the way they handle stdin/stdout that causes it to sometimes fail when using qt terminals. In my (limited) experience, using the windows terminal fixes this issue.
