(Back to index page<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, you should how Gnuplot works..<\/span><\/p>\n Imagine Gnuplot is connected to a “printer”.. This “printer” is called a terminal.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This terminal can be anything and you can change this terminal using the following command:<\/span><\/p>\n >> set terminal ….. …. ….. …\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can set your terminal to your\u00a0 current “monitor display<\/em>” (this terminal called “windows”)<\/span><\/p>\n There is another “monitor display<\/em>” called “wxt”.<\/span><\/p>\n So, you can change switch to these terminals using this commands:<\/span><\/p>\n >> set terminal windows<\/span><\/p>\n >> set terminal wxt<\/span><\/p>\n These commands will change the terminals that are displayed on your monitor.\u00a0 They have different colours, buttons, etc..<\/span><\/p>\n Each terminal may have a different function<\/span><\/p>\n So, if you want to plot something, be sure to set your terminals first. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you set the terminal after plotting, it will not have any effect. Imagine this analogy:<\/span><\/p>\n “Pressing the print button in MS Word and only after that<\/em> you turn on the printer power”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Instead of a monitor display<\/strong>, you can also change the terminal to a file.<\/span><\/p>\n There are options to save your file to JPEG or EPS or LaTeX,<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some of the available terminals:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the full list of terminals, please refer to gnuplot documentation (http:\/\/www.gnuplot.info\/docs_5.5\/gnuplot.pdf#page=208&zoom=100,96,186<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Each terminal can have their own properties (called “options”).<\/span><\/p>\n Here are the typical settings for each terminal that I normally use:<\/span><\/p>\n
