[Gnuplot-info] saving images in gnuplot

[Paul M. <Pau...@ma...>]

Dear Gnuplot people

I like the new (version 4.0 patchlevel 0) version of gnuplot,
especially the 'set pm3d map' plots. 
It is running on a Sun V20z dual opteron with suze linux 9.0. 


But I am having difficulty saving images
in a sensible format. 

eps is OK but not very efficient though I suppose I could gzip them.

gnuplot's terminal options dont seem to include gif or jpeg any more 
("unknown or ambiguous terminal type").

There is  png but that gives an error when I do the pm3d plot:

Error: terminal "png" does not support continuous colors.

So - what image format should I be using these days
for efficient storage of gnuplot images?
 (and ultimately for making movies)
