<p>The specific behavior of the backend toolkit may be modified using the
following utility functions.  Note: Not all functions apply to every
graphics toolkit.

<dd><p>Query or set the name of the program invoked by the plot command when the
graphics toolkit is set to <code class="code">&quot;gnuplot&quot;</code>.
</p>
<p>Additional arguments to pass to the external plotting program may also be
given.  The default value is <code class="code">&quot;gnuplot&quot;</code> with no additional arguments.
See <a class="xref" href="Installation.html">Installing Octave</a>.

</p></dd></dl>


<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-GNUTERM"></a>

<p>In addition, the gnuplot program usually provides a number of different
interfaces, known as terminals.  Octave normally chooses a default terminal,
but you can override this with the environment variable <code class="env">GNUTERM</code>.  This
variable may be set in the shell before starting Octave or from within Octave
before plotting for the first time.  For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">setenv (&quot;GNUTERM&quot;, &quot;wxt&quot;)
graphics_toolkit (&quot;gnuplot&quot;)
plot (1:10)
</pre></div></div>
