Re: figure: requires X11 and valid DISPLAY

[Etienne Grossmann]

  Hello,

I don't have a Mac, but am gathering info for the FAQ.

  Matthias, do I get it correctly that

  __gnuplot_set__ terminal aqua

does not work for you. Also, I see that gnuplot 4.0 has a terminal
'macintosh'. Is that of any use?

  TIA,

  Etienne
