Dear Francesco,

Thank you for your help. The 'test' you suggested works. No error
messages.

And as I mentioned, If I enter the plotting commands within flair for a
given plot (and for a png file type) via a test file, 'test.gnuplot'
directly from gnuplot, I get the desired output in a png format,
eLinBD10_DoseEq_Photon_and_Neutron_Y.png. I have attached both.

But when I try creating the same output within flair, I always get zero
size files if I choose png, jpg, or gif for output file type in the drop
down menu. It is rather strange and especially annoying since the
latest version of openoffice (presentation) does not render eps files
when I export the output to pdf.

Best wishes,
Mina
