Copy to clipboard for Linux

[Bob F. <rob...@kn...>]

Sirs:

I am a gnuplot (and Linux) neophyte and am very curious about a
difference in the functionality of *gnuplot Version 4.1 on Windows and
on Linux (Fedora Core 5).

On Windows, a right-click on the title bar gives me the option to "Copy
to Clipboard". I really like this feature and use it to paste figures
into MS Word documents - I think as emf's. (By the way, I have never
been successful with the "Print" option, but I haven't tried very hard
either.)

Experimenting on my Linux machine, I downloaded (via CVS) and built
gnuplot Version 4.1 and successfully ran it. (You have some really nice
demo plots by the way.) Here, however, I can find nothing equivalent to
the "Copy to Clipboard" option offered in the Windows version. Perhaps I
am just missing it somewhere, but this should be useful for pasting into
Open Office documents. Maybe there is some fundamental issue here that I
don't understand.

I realize that you are working to release Ver 4.2, and I don't want to
interfere with that. However, I did want to send this in before I forgot
about it.

Thanks for a nice product.

Bob
