Windows

Three options may be set in the windows terminal driver.

Syntax:

     set terminal windows {color | monochrome}
                          {enhanced | noenhanced}
                          {{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}}

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. "5#5fontname6#6" is the name of a valid Windows font, and 5#5fontsize6#6 is the size of the font in points.

Other options may be set with the graph-menu, the initialization file, and set linestyle. Note that there is one restriction imposed by the classic Windows GDI interface: modifiable linewidth only works with solid lines, not with dotted or dashed ones.

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.
