 The `replot` command without arguments repeats the last `plot` (Note: plot )
 or  `splot` (Note: splot ) command.  This can be useful for viewing a plot
 with different `set` (Note: set-show ) options, or when generating the same
 plot for several devices.

 Arguments specified after a `replot` command will be added onto the last
 `plot` or `splot` command (with an implied ',' separator) before it is
 repeated.  `replot` accepts the same arguments as the `plot` and `splot`
 commands except that ranges cannot be specified.  Thus you can use `replot`
 to plot a function against the second axes if the previous command was `plot`
 but not if it was `splot`, and similarly you can use `replot` to add a plot
 from a binary file only if the previous command was `splot`.

 N.B.---use of

       plot '-' ; ... ; replot

 is not recommended.  `gnuplot` (Note: gnuplot ) does not store the inline
 data internally, so since `replot` appends new information to the previous
 `plot` and then executes the modified command, the `'-'` from the initial
 `plot` will expect to read inline data again.

 Note that `replot` does not work in `multiplot` (Note: multiplot ) mode,
 since it reproduces only the last plot rather than the entire screen.

 See also `command-line-editing` (Note: Command-line-editing ) for ways to
 edit the last plot (splot) command.
