1.3 Seeking-assistance

There is a mailing list for `gnuplot` users. Note, however, that the newsgroup

      comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot

is identical to the mailing list (they both carry the same set of messages). We prefer that you read the messages through the newsgroup rather than subscribing to the mailing list. Instructions for subscribing to gnuplot mailing lists may be found via the gnuplot development website on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot

The address for mailing to list members is:

      gnuplot-info@lists.sourceforge.net

Bug reports and code contributions should be mailed to:

      gnuplot-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net

The list of those interested in beta-test versions is:

      gnuplot-beta@lists.sourceforge.net

There is also the canonical (if occasionally out-of-date) gnuplot web page at

http://www.gnuplot.info

Before seeking help, please check the

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list.

When posting a question, please include full details of the version of `gnuplot`, the machine, and operating system you are using. A _small_ script demonstrating the problem may be useful. Function plots are preferable to datafile plots. If email-ing to gnuplot-info, please state whether or not you are subscribed to the list, so that users who use news will know to email a reply to you. There is a form for such postings on the WWW site.
