This has not changed on the gnuplot end, so I am guessing this means you no longer have libgd installed. > Can I have a coloured canvas with postsctipt enh eps, or what > terminal type is there that will allow me this, and how do I specify > the colour?

In the current version (4.4) the most general way to do this is to specify a filled rectangle that exactly fills the screen, or the graph, and is placed behind everything else. This works for all terminals that support filled rectangles. Example: http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/rectangle.html In the next release most terminals will support a "background" keyword that does this more cleanly. .
