Mouse input to gnuplot in Ubuntu

AlexBB · 01-11-2015, 05:35 PM

Chapter 17 of gnuplot pdf manual (Mouse Input) says "The x11, pm, windows, ggi, and wxt terminals allow interaction with the current plot using the mouse." I wonder if my Ubuntu 13.04 has any of those, if not, then perhaps the three terminals (Terminal, UXTerm, Xterm) I can invoke here, maybe they also have the same property? The proper term is: are they mouse capable? Thanks, - A.

When doing a 'show all' in gnuplot it says it uses wxt as terminal type. The fastest way to find out mouse interactivity is this:

start gnuplot
enter plot sin(x)

Move your mouse in the windows which just popped up. You'll see the mouse coordinates in the window's lower left corner.
