At my surprise there is no wxt or qt.
I manage to produce plots by saving them on a file such as for example
set term png
set out "test.png"
plot sin(x)
but I fail to get the plot open in a new terminal window. In R I can just do
$r
> plot(1:10)
and I get the plot opening up in a new terminal window.
How can I have my plot showing up directly on a new terminal window?
