 The `cgm` terminal generates a Computer Graphics Metafile, Version 1. 
 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>}
                        {<color0> <color1> <color2> ...}

 where <mode> is `landscape`, `portrait`, or `default`;
 <color> is either `color` or `monochrome`; 
 <rotation> is either `rotate` (Note: rotate ) or norotate; `solid`
 (Note: solid ) draws all curves with solid lines, overriding any dashed
 patterns; <plot_width> is the assumed width of the plot in points; 
 <line_width> is the line width in points (default 1);  <font> is the name of a
 font; and  <fontsize> is the size of the font in points (default 12).

 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.

 Each color must be of the form 'xrrggbb', where x is the literal
 character 'x' and 'rrggbb' are the red, green and blue components in
 hex.  For example, 'x00ff00' is green.  The background color is set
 first, then the plotting colors.
 Examples:
       set terminal cgm landscape color rotate dashed width 432 \
                      linewidth 1  'Helvetica Bold' 12       # defaults
       set terminal cgm 14 linewidth 2  14  # wider lines & larger font
       set terminal cgm portrait "Times Italic" 12
       set terminal cgm color solid      # no pesky dashes!
