You can set it to output draw-codes for the old Tek graphics terminals, vector graphics in Xterm, pure X, Qt, even output to various filetypes such as DXF, PDF, and TeX. You can list them all by running 'set terminal' in gnuplot, and you can set it to any of these by running 'set terminal TYPE', replacing TYPE with whatever mode you want to set it to. My copy of gnuplot doesn't appear to have a GTK option, but it does have a pure X mode. -- "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Attributed to Albert Einstein
