Naive question on the entire saving/clipboard 
issue: what actually is being saved? Is this 
in any way different than taking a screenshot?
(Because, if it's not more than a screenshot,
then gnuplot does not need to implement anything,
really - there are plenty of screenshot utilities
out there.)

When using the "classic" method (set t ..., set o, 
replot, etc), it's very specific regarding the size
and resolution of the bitmap or vector image that 
is being saved. Is there any control over these
qualities when copying to clipboard?

Best,
