Windows

Three options may be set in the windows terminal driver.

Syntax:

     set terminal windows {color | monochrome}
                          {enhanced | noenhanced}
                          {{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}}
                          {title "Plot Window Title"}
                          {size <width>,<height>}
                          {position <x>,<y>}
                          {close}

where color and monochrome select colored or mono output, enhanced enables enhanced text mode features (subscripts, superscripts and mixed fonts). See enhanced (p. [*]) for more information. "4#4fontname5#5" is the name of a valid Windows font, and 4#4fontsize5#5 is the size of the font in points. size defines the width and height of the window in pixel and position the origin of the window i.e. the position of the top left corner on the screen (again in pixel). Both these options override the default settings from the WGNUPLOT.INI file (see below).

Other options may be set with the graph-menu or the initialization file.

The Windows version normally terminates immediately as soon as the end of any files given as command line arguments is reached (i.e. in non-interactive mode), unless you specify - as the last command line option. It will also not show the text-window at all, in this mode, only the plot. By giving the optional argument -persist (same as for gnuplot under x11; former Windows-only options /noend or -noend are still accepted as well), will not close gnuplot. Contrary to gnuplot on other operating systems, gnuplot's interactive command line is accessible after the -persist option.

The plot window remains open even when the gnuplot driver is changed to a different device. The plot window can be close with set term windows close
