### 1.3 Seeking-assistance

The canonical gnuplot web page can be found at http://www.gnuplot.info

Before seeking help, please check file FAQ.pdf or the above website for FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list.

If you need help as a gnuplot user, please use the newsgroup

              comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot

We prefer that you read the messages through the newsgroup rather than subscribing to the mailing list which is also available and carries the same set of messages. Instructions for subscribing to gnuplot mailing lists may be found via the gnuplot development website on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot

The address for mailing to list members is:

              gnuplot-info@lists.sourceforge.net

Bug reports and code contributions should be uploaded to the trackers at

              http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/support

Please check previous bug reports if the bug you want to report has not been already fixed in a newer version of gnuplot.

A mailing list for those interested in development version of gnuplot is:

              gnuplot-beta@lists.sourceforge.net

When posting a question, please include full details of the gnuplot version, the terminal type, and the operating system you are using. A _small_ script demonstrating the problem may be useful. Function plots are preferable to datafile plots.
