The PC version compiled by Microsoft C supports IBM CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, ATT 6300, and Corona 325 graphics. The PC version compiled by Borland C++ supports IBM CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, Hercules and ATT 6300 graphics. Other devices can be added simply, but will require recompiling. <P> Shell escapes and command line substitution. <P> Load and save capability. <P> Output redirection. <P> All computations performed in the complex domain. Just the real part is plotted by default, but functions like imag() and abs() and arg() are available to override this. <P> <H2><A NAME="sect4" HREF="#toc4"><B>X11</B> <B>OPTIONS</B></A></H2> <I>Gnuplot</I> provides the <I>x11</I> terminal type for use with X servers. This terminal type is set automatically at startup if the <B>DISPLAY</B> environment variable is set, if the <B>TERM</B> environment variable is set to <B>xterm</B>, or if the <B>-display</B> command line option is used. For terminal type <I>x11</I>, <I>gnuplot</I> accepts the standard X Toolkit options and resources such as geometry, font, and background. See the <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man?X?1">X(1)</A> man page for a description of the options. In addition to the X Toolkit options: <P> <DL> <DT><B>-mono</B> forces monochrome rendering on color displays.<DD> <P> </DD> </DL> <DL> <DT><B>-gray</B> requests grayscale rendering on grayscale or color<DD> displays. (Grayscale displays receive monochrome rendering by default.) <P> </DD> </DL> <DL> <DT><B>-clear</B> requests that the window be cleared momentarily<DD> before a new plot is displayed. <P> </DD> </DL> <DL> <DT><B>-tvtwm</B> requests that geometry specifications for position of<DD> the window be made relative to the currently displayed portion of the virtual root. <P> </DD> </DL> These options may also be controlled with resources in your <B>.Xdefaults</B> file. For example: <B>gnuplot*gray:</B> <B>on</B> . <P> <I>Gnuplot</I> provides a command line option (<B>-pointsize</B> <I>v</I>) and a resource (<B>gnuplot*pointsize:</B> <I>v</I>) to control the size of points plotted with the "points" plotting style. The value <I>v</I> is a real number (greater than 0 and less than or equal to ten) used as a scaling factor for point sizes. For example, <B>-pointsize</B> <B>2</B> uses points twice the default size, and <B>-pointsize</B> <B>0.5</B> uses points half the normal size. <P> For monochrome displays, <I>gnuplot</I> does not honor foreground or background colors. The default is black-on-white. <B>-rv</B> or <B>gnuplot*reverseVideo:</B> <B>on</B> requests white-on-black. <P> For color displays <I>gnuplot</I> honors the following resources (shown here with default values). The values may be color names in the X11 rgb.txt file on your system, hexadecimal RGB color specifications (see X11 documentation), or a color name followed by a comma and an <I>intensity</I> value from 0 to 1. For example, <B>blue,.5</B> means a half intensity blue. <P> <B>gnuplot*background:</B> <B>white</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*textColor:</B> <B>black</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*borderColor:</B> <B>black</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*axisColor:</B> <B>black</B> <B>gnuplot*line1Color:</B> <B>red</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line2Color:</B> <B>green</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line3Color:</B> <B>blue</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line4Color:</B> <B>magenta</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line5Color:</B> <B>cyan</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line6Color:</B> <B>sienna</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line7Color:</B> <B>orange</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line8Color:</B> <B>coral</B> <P> When <B>-gray</B> is selected, <I>gnuplot</I> honors the following resources for grayscale or color displays (shown here with default values).

A value of 2 or 3 may improve the appearance of some plots. <P> <B>gnuplot*borderWidth:</B> <B>2</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*axisWidth:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line1Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line2Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line3Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line4Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line5Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line6Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line7Width:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line8Width:</B> <B>0</B> <P> <I>Gnuplot</I> honors the following resources for setting the dash style used for plotting lines. 0 means a solid line. A 2 digit number <I>jk</I> (<I>j</I> and <I>k</I> are >= 1 and <= 9) means a dashed line with a repeated pattern of <I>j</I> pixels on followed by <I>k</I> pixels off. For example, `16' is a "dotted" line with 1 pixel on followed by 6 pixels off. More elaborate on/off patterns can be specified with a 4 digit value. For example, `4441' is 4 on, 4 off, 4 on, 1 off. The default values shown below are for monochrome displays or monochrome rendering on color or grayscale displays. For color displays, the defaults for all are 0 (solid line) except for <B>axisDashes</B> which defaults to a `16' dotted line. <P> <B>gnuplot*borderDashes:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*axisDashes:</B> <B>16</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line1Dashes:</B> <B>0</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line2Dashes:</B> <B>42</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line3Dashes:</B> <B>13</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line4Dashes:</B> <B>44</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line5Dashes:</B> <B>15</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line6Dashes:</B> <B>4441</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line7Dashes:</B> <B>42</B><BR> <B>gnuplot*line8Dashes:</B> <B>13</B> <P> The size or aspect ratio of a plot may be changed by resizing the <I>gnuplot</I> window. <P> <H2><A NAME="sect5" HREF="#toc5"><B>AUTHORS</B></A></H2> Thomas Williams, Pixar Corporation,<BR> (info-gnuplot@dartmouth.edu)<BR> and Colin Kelley. <P> Additions for labelling by Russell Lang, Monash University, Australia.<BR> (rjl@monu1.cc.monash.edu.au)<BR> Further additions by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA (formerly of Duke University, North Carolina, USA).<BR> (David.Kotz@Dartmouth.edu) <P> <H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6"><B>BUGS</B></A></H2> The atan() function does not work correctly for complex arguments.<BR> The bessel functions do not work for complex arguments.
