`-mono` | forces monochrome rendering on color displays. |
`-gray` | requests grayscale rendering on grayscale or color displays. |
(Grayscale displays receive monochrome rendering by default.) | |
`-clear` | requests that the window be cleared momentarily before a |
new plot is displayed. | |
`-tvtwm` | requests that geometry specifications for position of the |
window be made relative to the currently displayed portion | |
of the virtual root. | |
`-raise` | raises plot window after each plot. |
`-noraise` | does not raise plot window after each plot. |
`-noevents` | does not process mouse and key events. |
`-persist` | plot windows survive after main gnuplot program exits. |
Example:
gnuplot*gray: on gnuplot*ctrlq: on
gnuplot also provides a command line option (-pointsize 5#5v6#6) and a resource, gnuplot*pointsize: 5#5v6#6, to control the size of points plotted with the points plotting style. The value v is a real number (greater than 0 and less than or equal to ten) used as a scaling factor for point sizes. For example, -pointsize 2 uses points twice the default size, and -pointsize 0.5 uses points half the normal size.
The -noevents switch disables all mouse and key event processing (except for q and 5#5space6#6 for closing the window). This is useful for programs which use the x11 driver independent of the gnuplot main program.
The -ctrlq switch changes the hot-key that closes a plot window from q to 5#5ctrl6#6q. This is useful is you are using the keystroke-capture feature pause mouse keystroke, since it allows the character q to be captured just as all other alphanumeric characters. The -ctrlq switch similarly replaces the 5#5space6#6 hot-key with 5#5ctrl6#65#5space6#6 for the same reason.
