Gnuplot offers a variety of commands to set line and point properties, including color, thickness, point shape, etc. The command test will display a test page for the currently selected terminal type showing the available pre-defined combinations of... Read More

Basically, you save your plot to a file in a format your word processor can understand (using set term and set output, see above), and then you read in the plot from your word processor. Vector formats (PostScript, emf, svg, pdf, TEX, LATEX, etc)... Read More

This depends on the terminal type you use. * X11 toolkits: You can use the terminal type fig and use the xfig drawing program to edit the plot afterwards. You can obtain the xfig program from its web site http://www.xfig.org. More information... Read More

The kind of output produced is determined by the set terminal command; for example, set terminal postscript will produce the graph in PostScript format. Output can be redirected using the set output command. As an example, the following prints... Read More

GIF support is provided by an external library, libgd (http://www.libgd.org). Old versions of gd (versions 1.2 to 1.4) produce only GIF output. Versions 1.6 to 2.0.27 did not support GIF output because of patent concerns. However versions 1.6 and... Read More

* Plotting two-dimensional functions and data points in many different styles (points, lines, error bars) * Plotting three-dimensional data points and surfaces in many different styles (contour plot, mesh) * Algebraic computation in integer, float... Read More

First have a look at animate.dem in the demo directory of gnuplot. Basically, animated graphs are a sequence of plots in a suitable format. If your installation of gnuplot is linked with gd 2.0.29 or newer (see previous entry), the gif... Read More
