Re: [Gnuplot-info] multiple data files in one instance of gnuplot

[Clement L. <the...@gm...>]

Its worth pointing out that help set term wxt will produce this
paragraph near the beginning:

"The active plot window (the one selected by `set term wxt <n>`) is
 interactive. Its behaviour is shared with other terminal types. See `mouse`
 for details. It also has some extra icons, which are supposed to be
 self-explanatory."

Hope that helps,

Clem
