Hello,

I am attempting to produce simple animations using gnuplot:

set parametric

a_time=0

plot f(a_time), g(a_time) with points pt 7 ps 2 lc 2

do for [i=1:400] { \
replot f(a_time), g(a_time) with points pt 7 ps 2 lc 2; \
a_time=a_time+0.01; \
pause 0.3 }

This method works very well in producing a moving point
but the interval between replots is too large.  Even though
I have specified a 0.3 second pause, the pause is actually
1 second.

The gnuplot manual states:

"The time is rounded to an integer number of seconds if subsecond
time resolution is not supported by the given platform."

The terminals I use are x11 and wxt on a GNU/Linux Intel Core i7
system.

Is a subsecond pause possible with gnuplot or will the time
always be rounded to the next second?
