77 TERMINAL gnuplot 4.3 181
The advantage, if any, of the mp terminal over a postscript terminal is editable output. Considerable
effort went into making this output as clean as possible. For those knowledgeable in the Metapost
language, the default line types and colors can be changed by editing the arrays lt[] and col[]. The
choice of solid vs dashed lines, and color vs black lines can be change by changing the values assigned
to the booleans dashedlines and colorlines. If the default tex option was in effect, global changes
to the text of labels can be achieved by editing the vebatimtex...etex block. In particular, a LaTeX
preamble can be added if desired, and then LaTeX’s built-in size changing commands can be used for
maximum flexibility. Be sure to set the appropriate MP configuration variable to force Metapost to run
LaTeX instead of plainTeX.
77.46 Mtos
The mtos terminal has no options. It sends data via a pipe to an external program called GPCLIENT.
It runs under MULTITOS, Magic 3.x, MagicMAC. and MiNT. If you cannot find GPCLIENT, than
mail to dirk@lstm.uni-erlangen.de.
77.47 Next
Several options may be set in the next driver.
Syntax:
set terminal next {} { } {} {}
{""} {} title {""}
where is default, which sets all options to their defaults; is either new or old, where
old invokes the old single window; is either color or monochrome; is either solid
or dashed; "" is the name of a valid PostScript font; is the size of the font in
PostScript points; and is the title for the GnuTerm window. Defaults are new, monochrome,
dashed, "Helvetica", 14pt.
Examples:
set term next default
set term next 22
set term next color "Times-Roman" 14
set term next color "Helvetica" 12 title "MyPlot"
set term next old
Pointsizes may be changed with set linestyle.
77.48 Openstep (next)
Several options may be set in the openstep (next) driver.
Syntax:
set terminal openstep {} { } {} {}
{""} {} title {""}
where is default, which sets all options to their defaults; is either new or old, where
old invokes the old single window; is either color or monochrome; is either solid
or dashed; "" is the name of a valid PostScript font; is the size of the font in
PostScript points; and is the title for the GnuTerm window. Defaults are new, monochrome,
dashed, "Helvetica", 14pt.
Examples:
set term openstep default
set term openstep 22
