ld come up with some new behavior that would be less surprising. Maybe, for example, if PSPP is invoked from a terminal, we should show the graphics in a window? There might be a better idea. On Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 11:30 AM John Darrington < j...@darrington.wattle

If you have invoked pspp with no output file, then graphics have nowhere to go. You need to say that you want output to be saved to a file. For example by specifying a file name with "-o my-file.txt" J' On Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 08:09:34PM +0300, Oren Ish-Shalom wrote: Hi, I???m using

Alternatively, you could hack up a small perl program, using the pspp.pm module to read the file and write it out however you wish. That would also be far more optimal that using pspp to do the task. On Wed, Dec 04, 2019 at 09:09:34AM -0800, Ben Pfaff wrote: That *is* higher than I would ex
