NO!

For 99+% of Unix users, X11 is the most reasonable default to have.  Having a 
Unix Gnuplot with only xlib compiled in is a most unusual setup.  It's fine if 
you need it, but making it the default would flood this list with 'Gnuplot.py 
is broken for Unix' messages :)

As usual, after asking the question, I find an answer.

Editing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Gnuplot/gp_unix.py
and changing default_term =3D 'x11' to 'xlib' solved this problem.

Should that be the default?

Subject: [Gnuplot-py-users] set terminal x11


Hello,

I'm back on the graphing wagon, again.
RedHat 7.3, python 2.2.3, gnuplot-3.7.3, gnuplot-py 1.7.

g =3D Gnuplot.Gnuplot(debug=3D1)
g('set data style lines')
g('set terminal png color')
g('set output \"%s\"' % outfile)
g.title("Time vs Memory")
g.xlabel("Time \(5min interval\)")
g.ylabel("KBytes")

[gelbardn@webster agent]$ ./Graph.py=20
gnuplot> set terminal x11
gnuplot> set data style lines
gnuplot> set terminal png color
gnuplot> set output "test.png"
gnuplot> set title "Time vs Memory"
gnuplot> set xlabel "Time \(5min interval\)"
gnuplot> set ylabel "KBytes"

gnuplot-py is calling 'set terminal x11' which is failing.
I think it should be calling 'set terminal xlib'

Did I setup gnuplot 3.7.3 incorrectly or should gnuplot-py be calling it
with xlib instead of x11?

I only configured gnuplot --with-png.

[gelbardn@webster agent]$ ./Graph.py=20
gnuplot> set terminal x11
gnuplot> set data style lines
gnuplot> set terminal png color
gnuplot> set output "test.png"
gnuplot> set title "Time vs Memory"
gnuplot> set xlabel "Time \(5min interval\)"
gnuplot> set ylabel "KBytes"

gnuplot> set terminal x11
                      ^
         line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set
terminal' for a list
