According to Chart::Gnuplot: If the filename has no extension, postscipt will be used. Examine your `$chart->output('file.png');` line; it's not working.	[reply] [d/l]

hmadhi: While you've installed ImageMagick, is Chart::Gnuplot finding ImageMagick properly? Are you checking for errors? Do any error messages involve `convert`? ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.	[reply] [d/l]

My idea is that it would be a lot easier to help you if you posted your corde.	[reply]

Code is as follows: `my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new(output =>"file.png", gnuplot => /usr/bin/gnuplot", ) $chart->plot2d($dataSet0, $dataSet1);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I have found the "problem". I have been plotting datasets that do not contain data. eg `$chart->plot2d($dataSet0, $dataSet1, $dataSet2;)` [download] where dataSet0 returns a set of null values. In the previous version of Chart::Gnuplot this was not an issue and I did not have this problem. Such datasets were ignored and the conversion takes place correct. Remember, I am getting a ps file being generated, only the convert is not working. If I do a manual convert the graph is plotted correct.	[reply] [d/l]
