Yes that is right. While the chart is plotted with gnuplot, I can zoom and see further data points in details. However the PNG file looks like a bitmap image.

Hello,

I deal with huge files too (sometimes ~ gigabytes in size). I would
recommend png (set term png). PDFs are rendered data point by data
point (vector) - if there are many many data points, your pdf viewer
will choke trying to draw each point. Using the png terminal will make
an image - the downside to this is will be fuzzy if you resize it with
an image viewer.
