#set the axes labels
set xlabel "residue 1"
set ylabel "residue 2"
set zlabel "triangle area"
set title "res1:res2:cog triangle areas"

#graph plot
#to keep graph visible
pause -1 "\n\t push `q' and `return' to exit...\n"

gnuplot area-plot.exe

set terminal png color
^
"area-plot.exe", line 8: invalid color spec, must be xRRGGBB

'
can anyone help please?

The terminal png does not support the option color. See 'help set terminal png' for details. It produces color output by default and you can provide a palette, if you want.

Thanks have added
'set terminal png x11'
it now complains of 'Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string'
