If you are running gnuplot on the workstations running X Windows (or VUE),
the terminal type should automatically be set to x11. When this output
method is chosen, a separate window for plots will be opened on your screen when
you issue a plot command. If you have changed the terminal type
to print or the type was set improperly, use the set term and
set output command to set the terminal type to x11, as
shown:
set term x11 set output
This output method is primarily used to view your plots, as printing from the
window shown is somewhat of a tedious procedure. If you wish to print your plot
for the HP
7550A Plotter or the
PostScript printer, see the relevant sections of this tutorial.
