gnuplot not working

Hi all, Is there a problem with gnuplot? I get an error with the minimal example on the wiki. I think the generated .plt file has an error; it works if I manually delete the "fontscale 1" bit and run context on test-gnuplot-1.tmp. Using latest beta, tried with current official gnuplot as well as mojca-patched version.

Which version of Gnuplot did you use / how did you compile it / with which sources? If you used the one from modules.contextgarden.net for windows, that was a bad idea (and my bad that I forgot to remove it from there) since I haven't updated it for a while. I changed textscale to fontscale on gnuplot developers' request in February 2011. Gnuplot 4.6.0 already includes the context terminal, so it might be the best idea to try with official gnuplot binary (or sources). Mojca

Oh, indeed. It seems that a recent change in ConTeXt core broke functionality of the module (the version I tested on earlier worked fine). I'm not sure if I know where to start digging for the problem. There are some more experienced developers here, but I can try. (Though I take all the blame on me for not adapting the module to MKIV yet.) Mojca

You’re mixing counter mechanism in the module. You define a new counter with \newcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber and later you reset it with \setcounter\tikzGNUPLOTnumber\zerocount Both commands are from different mechanism where the \setcounter is from \makecounter is was removed in MkIV because the internal commands for \definenumber have changed to \definecounter, \incrementcounter, \setcounter etc. To reset a \newcounter command you can write \newcounter\… (or \doglobal\newcounter\…).

Can you please update and try again? Wolfgang suggested to replace \setcounter with \newcounter. Mojca
