RE: Empty PNG files

[Jonathan Fowler]

I tried that syntax but I'm stuck after the second line (loop #i = 1 to 100). 
It says it expects end of command after that line.

     I can get the syntax commands to produce analyses in HTML and ASCII, but
     when I instruct the system to produce a plot (e.g. boxplot), the output 
file
     is empty. 0 bytes. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps there is a problem with the cygwin plotter or with your libplot 
installation, or perhaps your data set has no values.

Do you get anything with the code below?


input program.
  loop #i = 1 to 100.
    compute x = normal(50).
    end case.
  end loop.
  end file.
end input program.

examine x
        /plot=boxplot.
