Mif

Several options may be set in the MIF 3.00 driver.

Syntax:

     set terminal mif {<pentype>} {<curvetype>} {<help>}

<pentype> selects ``colour'' of the graphics.

     `colour`     plot lines with line types >= 0 in colour (MIF sep. 2-7).
     `monochrome` plot all line types in black (MIF sep. 0).
<curvetype> selects how ``curves'' are plotted.
     `polyline`   plot curves as continuous curves.
     `vectors`    plot curves as collections of vectors
<help> print online help on standard error output.
     `help`       print a short description of the usage, and the options
     `?`          print a short description of the usage

This terminal driver produces Frame Maker MIF format version 3.00. It plots in MIF Frames with the size 15*10 [cm], and plot primitives with the same pen will be grouped in the same MIF group. Plot primitives in a gnuplot plot will be plotted in a MIF Frame, and several MIF Frames are collected in one large MIF Frame. Plot primitives with line types >= 0 will as default be drawn in colour. As default curves are plotted as continuous lines. The MIF font used for text is ``Times''.

Examples:

     set term mif
     set term mif vectors
     set term mif help
