Ethan, thank you for your reply. I have had a chance to run more tests, both in Firefox and in Chromium. I can toggle the plots now; I don't know what I was doing wrong before. These are my conclusions and feature requests: Documentation: The mousebox appears to the left of the plot, not the bottom, as stated in the documentation. Documentation: State that the # button is only active if set grid has been issued. Feature request: add a configuration option to the canvas terminal to place the mousebox...

Canvas terminal not fully functional

Canvas terminal documentation imprecise

Ethan, thank you so much for the time and energy spent on this. I hope it turns out to be worthwhile in the end. You seem to have installed Gaston correctly. I'm assuming we're on Linux. Try these two commands: julia> plot(1:10) julia> Gaston.gnuplot_send("q") (The gnuplot_send command is not exposed directly to users; that is why you have to include Gaston.. Also, this function appends a newline to the string sent to gnuplot.) What I see is that the plot window disappears. Now, let's try on gnuplot....

Ethan, first of all, thanks for the detailed explanation and for pointing out where I am being unclear. I will try to clarify. Keep in mind I'm also not a Windows expert or even much of a user; I mainly use linux. I'm just trying to debug an issue that Windows users found in my code. For context, I develop Gaston.jl, a plotting package for the Julia language, that uses gnuplot to plot. Gaston's documentation is here, and the source code is here. Also important: Julia uses libuv for I/O. This library...

I see. I just sent q to gnuplot from Julia (via stdin) and saw the plot close. This surprises me, because typing q in gnuplot's console doesn't close the window -- I just get a q on the command line. It's almost like the q gets sent to the plot window! Speaking with vey little knowledge of gnuplot's design decisions, I guess I would have expected the plot window to have its own stdin, and a separate communications channel to gnuplot. I think the problem is exacerbated on Windows because it is so...

More tests: I can reproduce the problem with the wxt terminal, but NOT with the windows terminal.
