The Winders version is up to 4.4 now and the terminals are undergoing rapid updates.

My (rather clunky) workflow is still:

a) Generate the data; construct the gnuplot script from a previous template.
b) Run gnuplot and generate an EPS file.
c) Feed the EPS into ghostscript/GSView to display it.
d) Maximize the graph on the screen.
e) Do a window-interior capture with PMView.
f) For a publication graph, change the DPI to 600 then change the X-dimension to 3.35" wide.
g) Save the file as a TIF.

I started using the PostScript terminal because that was the simplest way to get presentation-quality graphics and "enhanced text". It looks like the PNG terminal can do that on its own now - http://gnuplot.sourc...nhanced_utf8.html - but you'd probably want to use a different font with it (as in the SVG demo of the same script - http://gnuplot.sourc...nhanced_utf8.html ).

There have been many enhancements to gnuplot since I started doing things that way (e.g. it has a canvas property now and can generate many enhanced bitmaps/SVGs directly), and the default GUI has been enhanced with wxWidgets, but some of us oldsters can be set in our ways. ;-)

Ooh. Version 4.5 (in development) will have an HTML5 Canvas element - http://www.gnuplot.info/demo_canvas/

I dunno how much of this has been ported to Solaris, though the OS/2 version seems to still be worked on.

HTH!

Cheers,
Scott.
