#1160 — Terminal as default

I have just had the new Suse 12.1 Linux installed, and with it,
gnuplot. How do I now set it such that the terminal is the default
for plotting? It is sometimes handy to quickly plot on the screen
before going on to postscript etc.

You rather certainly can't, because if the version of gnuplot you 
installed (SuSE probably has several to pick from) had any such terminal 
driver available, that would _already_ be the default.

I.e. if gnuplot starts with none of the GUI drivers being the default, 
you either don't have any GUI driver compiled because you picked the 
wrong gnuplot installation package, or you have a configuration item in 
place that overrides the default (GNUTERM environment variable, 'set 
term' in your ~/.gnuplot or in the actual script you're running).  So 
you can't set such a default, as such --- if anything, you have to 
remove _your_ override of the default.

Thanks. I installed it using the zypper install command. I guess I
can live with no plots on the screen.

The command "set term" should produce a list of available terminal types.
Pick the one you want and place it in the environmental variable GNUTERM.

Set the environment variable GNUTERM=dumb.
