of a given are remembered, thus subsequent set term does not reset<br />

them. This helps in printing, for instance, when switching among different terminals — previous options<br />

don’t have to be repeated.<br />

The command set term push remembers the current terminal including its settings while set term<br />

pop restores it. This is equivalent to save term and load term, but without accessing the filesystem.<br />

Therefore they can be used to achieve platform independent restoring of the terminal after printing, for<br />

instance. After gnuplot’s startup, the default terminal or that from startup file is pushed automatically.<br />

Therefore portable scripts can rely that set term pop restores the default terminal on a given platform<br />

unless another terminal has been pushed explicitly.<br />

This document may describe drivers that are not available to you because they were not installed, or it<br />

may not describe all the drivers that are available to you, depending on its output format.<br />

36.59.1 Aed767<br />

The aed512 and aed767 terminal drivers support AED graphics terminals. The two drivers differ only<br />

in their horizontal ranges, which are 512 and 768 pixels, respectively. Their vertical range is 575 pixels.<br />

There are no options for these drivers.<br />

36.59.2 Aifm<br />

Several options may be set in aifm — the Adobe Illustrator 3.0+ driver.<br />

Syntax:<br />

set terminal aifm {} {""} {}<br />

is either color or monochrome; "" is the name of a valid PostScript font;<br />

is the size of the font in PostScript points, before scaling by the set size command. Selecting<br />

default sets all options to their default values: monochrome, "Times-Roman", and 14pt.<br />

Since AI does not really support multiple pages, multiple graphs will be drawn directly on top of one<br />

another. However, each graph will be grouped individually, making it easy to separate them inside AI<br />

(just pick them up and move them).<br />

Examples:<br />

set term aifm<br />

set term aifm 22<br />

set size 0.7,1.4; set term aifm color "Times-Roman" 14<br />

36.59.3 Amiga<br />

The amiga terminal, for Commodore Amiga computers, allows the user to plot either to a screen<br />

(default), or, if Kickstart 3.0 or higher is installed, to a window on the current public screen. The font<br />

and its size can also be selected.<br />

Syntax:<br />

set terminal amiga {screen | window} {""} {}<br />

The default font is 8-point "topaz".<br />

The screen option uses a virtual screen, so it is possible that the graph will be larger than the screen.<br />

36.59.4 Apollo<br />

The apollo terminal driver supports the Apollo Graphics Primitive Resource with rescaling after window<br />

resizing. It has no options.<br />

If a fixed-size window is desired, the gpr terminal may be used instead.
