Terminal types for Gnuplot (HP Workstations) University of Hawaii at Manoa College of Engineering In order to set the terminal type use the set term command, followed by the appropriate terminal type. You can also set the output device or file by using the set output command. For example, to set your terminal type to hpgl to plot to a plotter and save the output file to the file, output.plt, you would type the following: set term hpgl set output "output.plt" If no output file name is specified, the current output file is closed, and the output will go to the standard output (the terminal screen). If the output file name begins with a vertical bar character (|), the output will be piped to the command specified after the vertical bar. For example, to send the plot directly to the plotter, you would change the set output command as follows: set output "|lp -dhp7550a" Some of terminal types have some options, which are listed below with brackets. To apply the options, add them to the set term command. For example, to set the output type to pbm (portable bitmap) with the color option, type the following: set term pbm color Here are the terminal types for Gnuplot: unknown Unknown terminal type - not a plotting device table Dump ASCII table of X Y [Z] values to output dumb printer or glass dumb terminal aed512 AED 512 Terminal aed767 AED 767 Terminal aifm Adobe Illustrator 3.0 Format bitgraph BBN Bitgraph Terminal corel EPS format for CorelDRAW dxf dxf-file for AutoCad (default size 120x80) dxy800a Roland DXY800A plotter eepic EEPIC -- extended LaTeX picture environment emtex LaTeX picture environment with emTeX specials epson_180dpi Epson LQ-style 180-dot per inch (24 pin) printers epson_60dpi Epson-style 60-dot per inch printers epson_lx800 Epson LX-800, Star NL-10, NX-1000, PROPRINTER ... excl Talaris EXCL Laser printer (also Talaris 1590 and others) gpic GPIC -- Produce graphs in groff using the gpic preprocess or hp2623A HP2623A and maybe others hp2648 HP2648 and HP2647 hp7580B HP7580, and probably other HPs (4 pens) hp500c HP DeskJet 500c, [75 100 150 300] [rle tiff] hpgl HP7475 and (hopefully) lots of others (6 pens) hpljii HP Laserjet series II, [75 100 150 300] hpdj HP DeskJet 500, [75 100 150 300] hppj HP PaintJet and HP3630 [FNT5X9 FNT9X17 FNT13X25] imagen Imagen laser printer kc_tek40xx MS-DOS Kermit Tek4010 terminal emulator - color km_tek40xx MS-DOS Kermit Tek4010 terminal emulator - monochrom e latex LaTeX picture environment mf Metafont plotting standard mif Frame maker MIF 3.00 format nec_cp6 NEC printer CP6, Epson LQ-800 [monocrome color draft] okidata OKIDATA 320/321 Standard pbm Portable bitmap [small medium large] [monochrome gray color] pcl5 HP LaserJet III [mode] [font] [point] postscript PostScript grap hics language [mode "fontname" font_size] prescribe Prescribe - for the Kyocera Laser Printer kyo Kyocera Laser Printer with Courier font pslatex LaTeX picture environment with PostScript \specials pstrX texdraw environment tgif TGIF X-Window draw tool (file version 10) tpic TPIC -- LaTeX picture environment with tpic \specials vx384 Vectrix 384 and Tandy color printer vttek VT-like tek40xx terminal emulator x11 X11 Window System X11 X11 Window System (identical to x11) X11 Window System (gnulib_x11 dump)
