Re: About using gnuplot in a non-passive mode

Hi Eduardo,

Gnuplot is a command-line utility.  See http://www.gnuplot.info/ which
starts with, "Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility".

Are you using it on the command-line?  I've only ever used it on UNIX and
Linux systems...

I use the "pngcairo" terminal, as per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9080832/output-png-from-gnuplot-is-not-as-good-as-the-figure-from-prompt-shell

Hope this helps!

Best,
Aleksey
