4.1.61.1 graph-menu

The `gnuplot graph` window has the following options on a pop-up menu accessed by pressing the right mouse button(*) or selecting `Options` from the system menu:

`Copy to Clipboard` copies a bitmap and an enhanced Metafile picture.

`Save as EMF...` allows the user to save the current graph window as enhanced metafile

`Print...` prints the graphics windows using a Windows printer driver and allows selection of the printer and scaling of the output. The output produced by `Print` is not as good as that from `gnuplot`'s own printer drivers. See also `windows printing`.

`Bring to Top` when checked brings the graph window to the top after every plot.

`Color` when checked enables color linestyles. When unchecked it forces monochrome linestyles.

`Double buffer` activates drawing into a memory buffer before copying the graph to the screen. This avoids flickering e.g. during animation and rotation of 3d graphs. See `mouse` and scrolling.

`Oversampling` doubles the size of the virtual canvas. It is scaled down again for drawing to the screen. This gives smoother graphics but requires more memory and computing time. It requires `double buffer`.

`Antialiasing` selects smoothing of lines and edges. Note that this slows down drawing.

`Background...` sets the window background color.

`Choose Font...` selects the font used in the graphics window.

`Line Styles...` allows customization of the line colors and styles.

`Update wgnuplot.ini` saves the current window locations, window sizes, text window font, text window font size, graph window font, graph window font size, background color and linestyles to the initialization file `wgnuplot.ini`.

(*) Note that this menu is only available by pressing the right mouse button with `unset mouse`.
