How to save graphs in ns2 for later printing?

install gnuplot
you do have a paid for subscription for this very old RHEL5.0 install ?
And you do know that rhel5.0 is old. It is 6+ years out of date .

without the required red hat support contract you can NOT install gnuplot
this will not work
now a very old version might be on the install dvd
if you have the "install_media.repo" turned on you might be able to install the 6 year old version

Thks John.
I have ns2.34 on RHEL5.0, I have run programs that create graph but could not save for later printing. Graph window shows hardcpy button, when I click on it it shows options like HPGL, Postscript,Idraw, Tgif. When I tried to save it as gif or pdf, file is saved but when i opened it in windows it shows nothing. so ps help in this.

Suggest : Save the file to Postscript.

"files.ps" are easy to print out.

Sir, can i check this .ps file in windows? I mean can i open this file in window and see whether graph is visible or not? if yes then how?I dnt hv printer attach to my laptop rite now. Ps help.
Thks in advance

save it as a postscript
but a word of WARNING
Microsoft might not be able to read the unix line endings
( most linux distros have no problem reading the Microsoft format , but windows will not handle the unix format well )


if all you see ( on windows)is one very long line of text then you will have to convert it to a format that windows can read
it is also NOT advisable to move files back and forth from linux to windows over and over again

as before RHEL5.0 is 6 years out of date !
it is very advisable for you to at least upgrade to the current version in the OLD 5 series
-- RHEL 5.9 ---
search the red hat knowledge base
https://access.redhat.com/search/quick
-- you will have to login to red hat with the credentials to set up when you bought the required license

if you did not pay for rhel then do not use it !!!
instead install CentOS5.9 -- it is a FREE rebuild of the old RHEL5 series
