cgm

The cgm terminal generates a Computer Graphics Metafile. This file format is a subset of the ANSI X3.122-1986 standard entitled "Computer Graphics - Metafile for the Storage and Transfer of Picture Description Information". Several options may be set in cgm.

Syntax:

      set terminal cgm {<mode>} {<color>} {<rotation>} {solid | dashed}
                       {width <plot_width>} {linewidth <line_width>}
                       {"<font>"} {<fontsize>}

where <mode> is landscape, portrait, or default; <color> is either color or monochrome; <rotation> is either rotate or norotate; solid draws all curves with solid lines, overriding any dashed patterns; <plot_width> is the width of the page in points; <line_width> is the line width in points; <font> is the name of a font; and <fontsize> is the size of the font in points.

By default, cgm uses rotated text for the Y axis label.

The first six options can be in any order. Selecting default sets all options to their default values.

Examples:

      set terminal cgm landscape color rotate dashed width 432 \
                     linewidth 1  'Arial Bold' 12       # defaults
      set terminal cgm 14 linewidth 2  14  # wider lines & larger font
      set terminal cgm portrait 'Times Roman Italic' 12
      set terminal cgm color solid    # no pesky dashes!
