Is it possible in a GnuPlot 5.2 script, to break out of a loop on a (certain) key being pressed?
do for [m=1:6] {
do for [i=1:3] {
do for [fr=0:25] {
splot 'ex.plt' using 2:3:4 w l lt 1, sprintf("'exm%d.%d'",m,fr) using 1:2:3 w l lt 3
set view 69.867, 100.267, 2.503
pause 0.05
break # however: conditionally, on key pressed
}
}
}
# break to here
Check help bind.
Probably, you are looking for something like this. In this example, the loop will stop when x is pressed.
Script:
### key bind to stop a loop
reset session
bind "x" "Stop = 1"
Stop = 0
do for [i=1:50] {
plot sin(i/20.*x)
print i
pause 0.1
if (Stop) {Stop = i; break}
}
if (Stop) { print sprintf("Stopped after %d iterations", Stop) }
else { print "Time is over..." }
### end of script
