Trying out other terminals

Hiya!

I've been working with gnuplot on a testbench project for a friend 
starting around 2020, and I have it working quite well, it draws the 
charts we need. I've been using the qt terminal for this work on macOS 
because it lets us pan and zoom interactively to some degree.

It doesn't, however allow me to multiple charts with a common x axis, 
and the interaction precision leaves much to be desired.

I started looking around for another perhaps better terminal, and found 
aquaterm. I'm sure I tried this terminal first back in 2020, but ran 
into a couple issues right away. One thing it does is decide that a 
smaller window is desired, when I set the size to 2560 x 1440.

Is there a trick to it?

If I were going to dive into the source of qt, I'd be faced with the QT 
library and (I expect) C++ code. Aquaterm looks like a native 
Objective-C app; the thing aquaterm doesn't do that qt term does is 
buffer the commands to redraw the chart when you pan and zoom.

Thanks!

-Mike
