I'm using MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10 with XQuartz installed.

The Gnuplot version is 4.6.5.

After setting the terminal to xterm by typing "set term xterm", I can only get messy code in the terminal without other windows showing up.

Anyone knows how to solve it?

Here is a screen shot.

For me, the xterm terminal works only when also gnuplot was started from an xterm. Otherwise I do also see the 'messy' characters:

  1. Call xterm.
  2. Call gnuplot
  3. Rund set terminal xterm; plot x on the gnuplot command line.

But do you really want to use the xterm terminal? I think using any other terminal like wxt, qt offers more possibilities.

  • Thanks, that works! You are right. I thought xterm is the same as x11 since I don't have x11 in the terminals list. wxt and qt are both missing too. Now I have to think about installing these two terminals. – Yinan Nov 20 '14 at 02:29
