Soren Hauberg mentioned that the wxt terminal for gnuplot will give smooth curves. I just tried to use a wxt terminal with gnuplot but found that the Fedora-8 versions of octave and gnuplot (octave 2.9.15 and gnuplot 4.2) don't seem to know about it. The "set terminal" command in gnuplot does not list wxt as an available terminal type. I see that octave 3.0 and gnuplot 4.2.2 are included in Fedora-9. Maybe those versions include wxt-terminal capability. I started writing the plotting program, pretty much as a hobby, in 2003 to learn something about writing linux applications. Also, I thought gnuplot was not easy to use for anything other than very simple plots and because I didn't think the plots looked very good. I don't believe Pango and Cairo were available then. There still seem to be a lot of questions about how to use gnuplot.
