sorry if I do something wrong, it is my first post.
I generate usually pdfs with gnuplot by using the output terminal tkiz to generate first a .tex and afterwards a .pdf.
I recently updated to TeXLive. Now the compilation from .tex to .pdf does not work anymore.
My example is a .tex that was generate by the “set term tkiz” output in gnuplot.
I get the error
! Undefined control sequence.
l.22 gpsetdashtype
{gp dt solid}
without being able to explain it. Does somebody know how to fix it?
Thank you for looking into the problem.
Edit: Here is an example that runs now through in an empty folder. But I am not sure what this “createstyle” does. Usually I enter here “standalone header “usepackage{MyGnuplotLaTeX}” that is a .sty file calling usepackages like siunitx for me.
#!/usr/bin/gnuplot
basename='test_graph.plt'
end3='.tex'
f(x)=sin(x)
plot f(x) with lines #ls 1
set term tikz size 342.435pt,228pt standalone create style font \rmfamily,12pt"
set output basename.end3
replot
set output
system(sprintf('pdflatex %s%s', basename, end3))
