TikZ terminal

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Hello,

here are a few suggestions for the new TikZ terminal:

1.) I would rename gnuplot.lua into tikz.lua or gnuplot-tikz.lua. The
terminal lua is generic, but gnuplot.lua is TikZ-specific.

2.) I would require calling
   set term tikz
or
   set term lua tikz
and not
   set term lua

Lua is a generic driver and would not tell anything to the user that
wants to plot something in TeX.

If one writes metapost.lua then one could for example call
    set term lua metapost
to invoke that file.

3.) I agree that the terminal should return a list of values chosen
for the terminal

4.) Help should also be returned via
   help term tikz

Now set term lua help returns something useful, but help term tikz
should be more informative as well.

5.) Maybe there could be
   gnuplot.lua
that has a list of available terminals, for example a list containing
"tikz" terminal with both terminal name and filename that needs to be
included to make that terminal work properly.
