X11 other resources
By default the contents of the current plot window are exported to the X11 clipboard in response to X events in the window. Setting the resource 'gnuplot*exportselection' to 'o ' or 'false' will disable this.
By default text rotation is done using a method that is fast, but can corrupt nearby colors depending on the background. If this is a problem, you can set the resource 'gnuplot.fastrotate' to 'o '
gnuplot*exportselection: o gnuplot*fastrotate: on gnuplot*ctrlq: o
Xlib
The xlib terminal driver supports the X11 Windows System. It generates gnuplot x11 commands, but sends them to the output le speci ed by set output '< lename>'. set term x11 is equivalent to set output
"jgnuplot x11 -noevents"; set term xlib. xlib takes the same set of options as x11.
Part V
Bugs
Please e-mail bug reports to the gnuplot-bugs mailing list or upload the report to the gnuplot web site on SourceForge. Please give complete information on the version of gnuplot you are using and, if possible, a test script that demonstrates the bug. See seeking-assistance (p. 17).
Known limitations
Floating point exceptions ( oating point number too large/small, divide by zero, etc.) may occasionally be generated by user de ned functions. Some of the demos in particular may cause numbers to exceed the oating point range. Whether the system ignores such exceptions (in which case gnuplot labels the corresponding point as unde ned) or aborts gnuplot depends on the compiler/runtime environment.
The gamma, bessel, and erf functions do not work for complex arguments.
Coordinates speci ed as "time" wrap at 24 hours.
The 'nohidden3d' option that is supposed to exempt individual plots from the global property 'set hidden3d' does not work for parametric curves.
X11 terminal: It is di cult to select UTF-8 fonts. The program does not track the true aspect ratio of the x11 terminal window. In order for commands such as "set size ratio" to work, the x11 window must itself have equal height and width. Only one color palette at a time is active for any given x11 plot window. This means that multiplots whose constituent plots use di erent palettes will not display correctly in x11.
Qt terminal: This terminal is still in the EXPERIMENTAL category. It does not yet support all the features of the other interactive terminals. If the local qt environment does not support "opengl" as a rendering mode then display of polygons and surfaces can be very slow.

External libraries
External library GD (used by PNG/JPEG/GIF drivers): Versions of libgd through 2.0.33 contain various bugs in mapping the characters of Adobe's Symbol font. Also it is possible to trigger a library segfault if an anti-aliased line crosses an upper corner of the canvas.
External library PDFlib (used by PDF driver): Gnuplot can be linked against libpdf versions 4, 5, or 6. However, these versions di er in their handling of piped I/O. Therefore gnuplot scripts using piped output to PDF may work only for some versions of PDFlib.
External library svgalib (used by linux and vgagl driver): Requires gnuplot to be suid root (bad!) and has many bugs that are speci c to the video card or graphics driver used in X11.
Internationalization (locale settings): Gnuplot uses the C runtime library routine setlocale() to control localespeci c formatting of input and output number, times, and date strings. The locales available, and the level of support for locale features such as "thousands' grouping separator", depend on the internationalization support provided by your individual machine.
