Mediawiki/Erweiterung/Gnuplot

Die Mediawiki-Erweiterung Gnuplot (auch: GNUPlot) erlaubt die Erzeugung und Anzeige von grafischen Darstellungen. Dabei wird das Programm Gnuplot verwendet.

Installation

1. Voraussetzung ist die Installation des Pakets "gnuplot".

# apt-get install gnuplot

2. Anlegen der Datei "extensions/Gnuplot.php" und Einfügen des folgenden PHP-Codes (Stand: 8. Februar 2009).

3. Anpassung des Pfads zu Gnuplot in der Datei "extensions/Gnuplot.php".

$this->gnuplotCommand = '/usr/bin/gnuplot';

4. Einfügen der folgenden Zeile in die Datei "LocalSettings.php".

include("extensions/Gnuplot.php");

Die Standardeinstellungen in der Datei "Gnuplot.php" sind die folgenden.

set terminal png color
set size 0.5,0.5

Passendere Einstellungen sind z. B.

set terminal png color
set size 1.5,1.0
