[Gnuplot-info] wgnuplot 4.3+ persistent processes

[Don T. <dt...@ar...>]

Hello, 

I have a program that spawns a wgnuplot process by: "wgnuplot datafile.gp -"
in MS Windows. 

For version 4.2, the spawned wgnuplot process gets killed when the plot
window is closed.  For version 4.3+ the plot window goes away, but the
wgnuplot process sticks around.  This causes problems after a while as there
end up being many wgnuplot processes running in the background.  Did
something change between 4.2 and 4.3+ that would cause this behavior?  The
only other difference is that I'm running the 4.3+ wgnuplot with a
datafile.gp that adds the enhanced, size, and title arguments to the set
term wxt command.

I tried this with a different terminal type (windows) instead of wxt, and did
not see the same behavior, so perhaps it is a bug with the wxt terminal in
windows.
