Package: pgf
Version: 2.00-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

  When using appropriate commands, pgf tries to invoke gnuplot with
some commands/options that does not exist anymore leading to an error.
It seems (not checked) that it has been fixed in recent version of pgf.
  From http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/gnuplot-basics/ , I saw
(and tested) that it is enought to modify pgfmoduleplot.code.tex
changing from
xdef...@gnuplot@head#1{set terminal table; set output...
to
xdef...@gnuplot@head#1{set table; set output...

  I recommand to push this change for squeeze:
- if this part of code is used, the old one ("set terminal table;...") always
  lead to an error with the squeeze (and future) version of gnuplot whereas
  the patch makes it working
- if this part of code is not used in pgf document, there will be no change.
- without this patch, it is impossible to invoke gnuplot from pgf whereas this
  is a very interesting feature (used a lot in my lab to create scientific
  reports).
