loadpath

The loadpath setting defines additional locations for data and command files searched by the call, load, plot and splot commands. If a file cannot be found in the current directory, the directories in loadpath are tried.

Syntax:

      set loadpath {"pathlist1" {"pathlist2"...}}
      show loadpath

Path names may be entered as single directory names, or as a list of path names separated by a platform-specific path separator, eg. colon (':') on Unix, semicolon (';') on DOS/Windows/OS/2 platforms. The show loadpath, save and save set commands replace the platform-specific separator with a space character (' ').

If the environment variable GNUPLOT_LIB is set, its contents are appended to loadpath. However, show loadpath prints the contents of set loadpath and GNUPLOT_LIB separately. Also, the save and save set commands ignore the contents of GNUPLOT_LIB.
