[Gnuplot-py-users] usability (mouse zoom again and default terminal)

[Martin R. <mar...@gm...>]

hi,

The new gnuplot uses 'wxt' as default terminal on unix which looks a lot
nicer than 'x11'.

And as you already know, pipes + mouse zoom don't work together. For me,
mouse zoom is a very important feature. So as long as there is no better
solution, could you please change the defaults? I'm sure most users would
benefit from this.

bye,
Martin Renold
