GNUPlot Manual

36 SET-SHOW gnuplot 4.0 111
Additional point-plot symbols are also available with the fig driver. The symbols can be used through
pointtype values % 100 above 50, with different fill intensities controlled by % 5 and
outlines in black (for % 10 < 5) or in the current color. Available symbols are
50 - 59: circles
60 - 69: squares
70 - 79: diamonds
80 - 89: upwards triangles
90 - 99: downwards triangles
The size of these symbols is linked to the font size. The depth of symbols is by default one less than
the depth for lines to achieve nice error bars. If is above 1000, the depth is +
/1000-1. If %1000 is above 100, the fill color is (%1000)/100-1.
Available fill colors are (from 1 to 9): black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, yellow, white and dark
blue (in monochrome mode: black for 1 to 6 and white for 7 to 9).
See plot with (p. 47) for details of and .
The big option is a substitute for the bfig terminal in earlier versions, which is no longer supported.
Examples:
set terminal fig monochrome small pointsmax 1000
plot ’file.dat’ with points linetype 102 pointtype 759
# defaults
would produce circles with a blue outline of width 1 and yellow fill color.
plot ’file.dat’ using 1:2:3 with err linetype 1 pointtype 554
would produce errorbars with black lines and circles filled red. These circles are one layer above the
lines (at depth 9 by default).
To plot the error bars on top of the circles use
plot ’file.dat’ using 1:2:3 with err linetype 1 pointtype 2554
36.59.23 Ggi
The ggi driver can run on different targets as X or svgalib.
Syntax:
set terminal ggi [acceleration ] [[mode] {mode}]
In X the window cannot be resized using window manager handles, but the mode can be given with the
mode option, e.g.:
- V1024x768
- V800x600
- V640x480
- V320x200
Please refer to the ggi documentation for other modes. The ’mode’ keyword is optional. It is recommended
to select the target by environment variables as explained in the libggi manual page. To get
DGA on X, you should for example
bash> export GGI_DISPLAY=DGA
csh> setenv GGI_DISPLAY DGA
’acceleration’ is only used for targets which report relative pointer motion events (e.g. DGA) and is a
strictly positive integer multiplication factor for the relative distances. The default for acceleration is 7.
Examples:
set term ggi acc 10
set term ggi acc 1 mode V1024x768
set term ggi V1024x768
