saving output of splot(GNUPlot)

Question

I have two files same_2 and diff_2 and I plot the data in these files with this command using GNUPlot.

splot "./same_2" with points, "./diff_2" with points

I have the 3D plot. How can I save it, so that I can view it later. I do not want to store it as an image, and that's what I keep getting on search.

Any help appreciated.

There's an option in gnu plot's command set: set term which can be used to set the output to a variety of formats, including PS, PNG, and others.

Details are at the gnuplot tutorial.

There's a help system, if you type help set at the gnuplot command line, you will get more details.

To add a 3d output terminal for something like VRML or PovRay, you'll need to apply a custom patch.

The problem is I cannot rotate whatever is produced, like I can do in the gnuplot window.

I added a link to output to 3d file types.

I got the following error while applying the patch. can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? I am using gnuplot v4.4

The patch is for version 4.0 of gnuplot. You may have to downgrade, or do some of your own development to make it work fully.
