Terminal

gnuplot supports many different graphics devices. Use set terminal to tell gnuplot what kind of output to generate. Use set output to redirect that output to a file or device.

Syntax:

     set terminal {<terminal-type>}
     show terminal

If <terminal-type> is omitted, gnuplot will list the available terminal types. <terminal-type> may be abbreviated.

If both set terminal and set output are used together, it is safest to give set terminal first, because some terminals set a flag which is needed in some operating systems.

Several terminals have additional options. For example, see dumb, iris4d, hpljii or postscript.

This document may describe drivers that are not available to you because they were not installed, or it may not describe all the drivers that are available to you, depending on its output format.
