4.1.4 be

The `be` terminal type is present if gnuplot is built for the `beos` operating system and for use with X servers. It is selected at program startup if the `DISPLAY` environment variable is set, if the `TERM` environment variable is set to `xterm`, or if the `-display` command line option is used.

Syntax:

               set terminal be {reset} {<n>}
     

Multiple plot windows are supported: `set terminal be <n>` directs the output to plot window number n. If n>0, the terminal number will be appended to the window title and the icon will be labeled `gplt <n>`. The active window may distinguished by a change in cursor (from default to crosshair.)

Plot windows remain open even when the `gnuplot` driver is changed to a different device. A plot window can be closed by pressing the letter q while that window has input focus, or by choosing `close` from a window manager menu. All plot windows can be closed by specifying reset, which actually terminates the subprocess which maintains the windows (unless `-persist` was specified).

Plot windows will automatically be closed at the end of the session unless the `-persist` option was given.

The size or aspect ratio of a plot may be changed by resizing the `gnuplot` window.

Linewidths and pointsizes may be changed from within `gnuplot` with `set linestyle`.

For terminal type `be`, `gnuplot` accepts (when initialized) the standard X Toolkit options and resources such as geometry, font, and name from the command line arguments or a configuration file. See the X(1) man page (or its equivalent) for a description of such options.

A number of other `gnuplot` options are available for the `be` terminal. These may be specified either as command-line options when `gnuplot` is invoked or as resources in the configuration file ".Xdefaults". They are set upon initialization and cannot be altered during a `gnuplot` session.
