I recently installed IRAF on my Debian system, and I have been having troubles with splot. I am trying to plot a spectrum from one aperture of a fits file, and so I type 'splot ugc12695.fits', it prompts me for the aperture, I give it one, and then it plops a whole bunch of binary in the terminal. The default output is stdgraph.
I was wondering if anyone knew what I need to do to make splot happy...

Garbage output on the screen always means that there is a mis-match between the type of terminal you are using, and the type of terminal IRAF thinks you're using. Note that for graphics your choice is either XTerm or XGterm, when you do a MKIRAF you are asked for the terminal type and you should reply 'xterm' or 'xgterm' appropriately. Gnome-terminals, rxvt, kde-term, cannot be used -- you must actually login to iraf through a running xterm/xgterm.-Mike

That did it. I was running a gnome-terminal. IRAF complained when I told it xgterm but not xterm, so I figured it was happy with that. Thanks for the help Smile
