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?
