@rqcy -- if you have a moment, would you try the fix in #32957 or otherwise comment on whether this works for your workflow/use case?

I've never used gnuplot's tikz terminal before so made a few guesses as to how one generally does things O:).

Thanks for talking care of this issue.

With NixOS I really have little experience and things are still very difficult, so I don't think that I can contribute directly.

I could add that the gnuplot style files can be generated with a lua script:

lua $GNUPLOT_DIR/lua/gnuplot-tikz.lua style

(I made up GNUPLOT_DIR)

Hope that's at least a little helpful.

Thanks again!

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
  3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
