120 gnuplot 4.0 36 SET-SHOW
36.59.44 Mgr
The mgr terminal driver supports the Mgr Window system. It has no options.
36.59.45 Mif
The mif terminal driver produces Frame Maker MIF format version 3.00. It plots in MIF Frames with
the size 15*10 cm, and plot primitives with the same pen will be grouped in the same MIF group. Plot
primitives in a gnuplot page will be plotted in a MIF Frame, and several MIF Frames are collected in
one large MIF Frame. The MIF font used for text is "Times".
Several options may be set in the MIF 3.00 driver.
Syntax:
set terminal mif {color | colour | monochrome} {polyline | vectors}
{help | ?}
colour plots lines with line types >= 0 in colour (MIF sep. 2–7) and monochrome plots all line types
in black (MIF sep. 0). polyline plots curves as continuous curves and vectors plots curves as collections
of vectors. help and ? print online help on standard error output — both print a short description of
the usage; help also lists the options.
Examples:
set term mif colour polylines
set term mif
set term mif vectors
set term mif help

36.59.46 Mp
The mp driver produces output intended to be input to the Metapost program. Running Metapost on
the file creates EPS files containing the plots. By default, Metapost passes all text through TeX. This
has the advantage of allowing essentially any TeX symbols in titles and labels.
Syntax:
set term mp {color | colour | monochrome}
{solid | dashed}
{notex | tex | latex}
{magnification }
{psnfss | psnfss-version7 | nopsnfss}
{prologues }
{a4paper}
{amstex}
{""} {}
The option color causes lines to be drawn in color (on a printer or display that supports it),
monochrome (or nothing) selects black lines. The option solid draws solid lines, while dashed (or
nothing) selects lines with different patterns of dashes. If solid is selected but color is not, nearly all
lines will be identical. This may occasionally be useful, so it is allowed.
The option notex bypasses TeX entirely, therefore no TeX code can be used in labels under this option.
This is intended for use on old plot files or files that make frequent use of common characters like $ and
% that require special handling in TeX.
The option tex sets the terminal to output its text for TeX to process.
The option latex sets the terminal to output its text for processing by LaTeX. This allows things like
\frac for fractions which LaTeX knows about but TeX does not. Note that you must set the environment
variable TEX to the name of your LaTeX executable (normally latex) if you use this option or use mpost
–tex= .... Otherwise metapost will try and use TeX to process the
text and it won’t work.
