[Gnuplot-py-users] Setting default terminal type

[Arne M. <mej...@cs...>]

Hi,

I'm curious as to whether there is an easier way of changning the
default terminal type, than to edit default_term in the gp_unix.py
file. 

My setup is such that I use Gnuplot-py to generate plots on the fly on
my webserver, which does not have x11 installed. 

As far as I can tell, there is no way of setting the terminal before
creating a Gnuplot instance, other than editing the source file. Am I
wrong?

I would consider it a nicer solution if you could specify this by
something like:

g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(term="png", debug=1)

This way I will not have to edit the gp_unix.py when
upgrading/reinstalling Gnuplot-py.

Best Regards,
