#Installation instructions If these don't work, internet seach is your friend.

Pre-installed. Command-line tool: gnuplot

Please search your package repository or build from source.

Easiest with homebrew: brew install gnuplot. Of course, you could build always from source.

Windows binaries built by Tatsuro Matsuoka: cygwin and MinGW. The MinGW version is the most plug and play, from a vanilla windows 10 installation.

This command graphically tests or presents terminal and palette capabilities. Syntax: test {terminal | palette}

test or test terminal creates a display of line and point styles and other useful things supported by the terminal you are currently using. test palette plots profiles of R(z),G(z),B(z), where 0<=z<=1. These are the RGB components of the current color palette. It also plots the apparent net intensity as calculated using NTSC coecients to map RGB onto a grayscale. The profile values are also loaded into a datablock named $PALETTE.

When gnuplot is run, it first looks for a system-wide initialization file gnuplotrc. The location of this file is determined when the program is built and is reported by show loadpath. The program then looks in the user's HOME directory for a file called .gnuplot on Unix-like systems or GNUPLOT.INI on other systems. (OS/2 will look for it in the directory named in the environment variable GNUPLOT; Windows will use APPDATA). Note: The program can be configured to look first in the current directory, but this is not recommended because it is bad security practice.
