77 TERMINAL gnuplot 4.3 195
77.68 Unixpc
The unixpc terminal driver supports AT&T 3b1 and AT&T 7300 Unix PC. It has no options.
77.69 Unixplot
The unixplot terminal driver generates output in the Unix "plot" graphics language. It has no options.
This terminal cannot be compiled if the GNU version of plot is to be used; in that case, use the gnugraph
terminal instead.
77.70 Atari ST (via VDI)
The vdi terminal is the same as the atari terminal, except that it sends output to the screen via the
VDI and not into AES-Windows.
The vdi terminal has options to set the character size and the screen colors.
Syntax:
set terminal vdi {} { ... }
The character size must appear if any colors are to be specified. Each of the (up to 16) colors is given
as a three-digit hex number, where the digits represent RED, GREEN and BLUE (in that order). The
range of 0–15 is scaled to whatever color range the screen actually has. On a normal ST screen, odd and
even intensities are the same.
Examples:
set terminal vdi 4 # use small (6x6) font
set terminal vdi 6 0 # set monochrome screen to white on black
set terminal vdi 13 0 fff f00 f0 f ff f0f
# set first seven colors to black, white, red, green,
# blue, cyan, and purple and use large font (8x16).
Additionally, if an environment variable GNUCOLORS exists, its contents are interpreted as an options
string, but an explicit terminal option takes precedence.
77.71 Vgagl
The vgagl driver is a fast linux console driver with full mouse and pm3d support. It looks at the
environment variable SVGALIB DEFAULT MODE for the default mode; if not set, it uses a 256 color
mode with the highest available resolution.
Syntax:
set terminal vgagl \
background [red] [[green] [blue]] \
[uniform | interpolate] \
[mode]
The color mode can also be given with the mode option. Both Symbolic names as G1024x768x256
and integers are allowed. The background option takes either one or three integers in the range [0,
255]. If only one integers is supplied, it is taken as gray value for the background. If three integers are
present, the background gets the corresponding color. The (mutually exclusive) options interpolate
and uniform control if color interpolation is done while drawing triangles (on by default).
To get high resolution modes, you will probably have to modify the configuration file of libvga, usually
/etc/vga/libvga.conf. Using the VESA fb is a good choice, but this needs to be compiled in the kernel.
The vgagl driver uses the first *available* vga mode from the following list:
- the driver which was supplied when setting vgagl, e.g. ‘set term vgagl
G1024x768x256‘ would first check, if the G1024x768x256 mode is available.
