82 gnuplot 4.3 66 REPLOT
62 Pwd
The pwd command prints the name of the working directory to the screen.
63 Quit
The exit and quit commands and END-OF-FILE character will exit gnuplot. Each of these commands
will clear the output device (as does the clear command) before exiting.
64 Raise
Syntax:
raise {plot_window_nb}
The raise command raises (opposite to lower) plot window(s) associated with the interactive terminal
of your gnuplot session, i.e. pm, win, wxt or x11. It puts the plot window to front (top) in the z-order
windows stack of the window manager of your desktop.
As x11 and wxt support multiple plot windows, then by default they raise these windows in descending
order of most recently created on top to the least recently created on bottom. If a plot number is
supplied as an optional parameter, only the associated plot window will be raised if it exists.
The optional parameter is ignored for single plot-windows terminal, i.e. pm and win.
If the window is not raised under X11, then (1) they don’t run in the same
X11 session (telnet or ssh session, for example), or (2) raising is blocked
by your window manager. On KDE, you may like to go to the KDE Control Center
=> Desktop => Window Behaviour => Advanced and set the "Focus stealing
prevention level" to None (default is Low).
65 Refresh
The refresh command is similar to replot, with two major differences. refresh reformats and redraws
the current plot using the data already read in. This means that you can use refresh for plots with
in-line data (pseudo-device ’-’) and for plots from datafiles whose contents are volatile. You cannot use
the refresh command to add new data to an existing plot.
Mousing operations, in particular zoom and unzoom, will use refresh rather than replot if appropriate.
Example:
plot ’datafile’ volatile with lines, ’-’ with labels
100 200 "Special point"
e
# Various mousing operations go here
set title "Zoomed in view"
set term post
set output ’zoom.ps’
refresh
66 Replot
The replot command without arguments repeats the last plot or splot command. This can be useful
for viewing a plot with different set options, or when generating the same plot for several devices.
