 In addition to the X Toolkit options, the following options may be specified
 on the command line when starting `gnuplot` (Note: gnuplot ) or as resources
 in your ".Xdefaults" file:  `-clear`   requests that the window be cleared
 momentarily before a             new plot is displayed.  `-gray`    requests
 grayscale rendering on grayscale or color displays.             (Grayscale
 displays receive monochrome rendering by default.)  `-mono`    forces
 monochrome rendering on color displays.  `-persist` plot windows survive after
 main gnuplot program exits  `-raise`   raise plot window after each plot
  `-noraise` do not raise plot window after each plot  `-tvtwm`   requests that
 geometry specifications for position of the             window be made
 relative to the currently displayed portion             of the virtual root.
 The options are shown above in their command-line syntax.  When entered as
 resources in ".Xdefaults", they require a different syntax.

 Example:
       gnuplot*gray: on

 `gnuplot` also provides a command line option (`-pointsize <v>`) and a
 resource, `gnuplot*pointsize: <v>`, to control the size of points plotted
 with the `points` (Note: points ) plotting style.  The value v is a real
 number (greater than 0 and less than or equal to ten) used as a scaling factor
 for point sizes.  For example, `-pointsize 2` uses points twice the default
 size, and `-pointsize 0.5` uses points half the normal size.
