    """Interface to a gnuplot program.

    A Gnuplot represents a higher-level interface to a gnuplot
    program.  It can plot 'PlotItem's, which represent each thing to
    be plotted on the current graph.  It keeps a reference to each of
    the 'PlotItems' used in the current plot, so that they (and their
    associated temporary files) are not deleted prematurely.

    Members:

        'itemlist' -- a list of the PlotItems that are associated with
            the current plot.  These are deleted whenever a new plot
            command is issued via the 'plot' method.

        'plotcmd' -- 'plot' or 'splot', depending on what was the last
            plot command.

    Methods:

        '__init__' -- if a filename argument is specified, the
            commands will be written to that file instead of being
            piped to gnuplot.

        'plot' -- clear the old plot and old 'PlotItems', then plot
            the arguments in a fresh plot command.  Arguments can be:
            a 'PlotItem', which is plotted along with its internal
            options; a string, which is plotted as a 'Func'; or
            anything else, which is plotted as a 'Data'.

        'splot' -- like 'plot', except for 3-d plots.

        'hardcopy' -- replot the plot to a postscript file (if
            filename argument is specified) or pipe it to the printer
            as postscript othewise.  If the option 'color' is set to
            true, then output color postscript.

        'replot' -- replot the old items, adding any arguments as
            additional items as in the plot method.

        'refresh' -- issue (or reissue) the plot command using the
            current 'PlotItems'.

        '__call__' -- pass an arbitrary string to the gnuplot process,
            followed by a newline.

        'xlabel', 'ylabel', 'zlabel', 'title' -- set corresponding plot
            attribute.

        'interact' -- read lines from stdin and send them, one by one,
            to the gnuplot interpreter.  Basically you can type
            commands directly to the gnuplot command processor.

        'load' -- load a file (using the gnuplot 'load' command).

        'save' -- save gnuplot commands to a file (using gnuplot
            'save' command) If any of the 'PlotItem's is a temporary
            file, it will be deleted at the usual time and the save
            file will be pretty useless :-).

        'clear' -- clear the plot window (but not the itemlist).

        'reset' -- reset all gnuplot settings to their defaults and
            clear the current itemlist.

        'set_string' -- set or unset a gnuplot option whose value is a
            string.

        '_clear_queue' -- clear the current 'PlotItem' list.

        '_add_to_queue' -- add the specified items to the current
            'PlotItem' list.

        Output the current plot to the default printer (if configured)
        or to the specified filename.

        Note that gnuplot remembers the printer suboptions across
        terminal changes (at least for postscript).  Therefore if you
        set, for example, color=1 for one hardcopy then the next
        hardcopy will also be color unless you explicitly choose
        color=0.  Alternately you can force all of the options to
        their defaults by setting mode='default'.  I consider this to
        be a bug in gnuplot.

        Keyword arguments:

          'filename=<string>' -- if a filename is specified, save the
              output in that file; otherwise print it immediately
              using the 'default_lpr' configuration option.

          'terminal=<string>' -- the type of gnuplot 'terminal' to use
              for the output (e.g., 'postscript', 'png', 'latex',
              etc).  Look in termdefs.py to see what terminal types
              are defined, or check termdefs.terminal_opts.keys().

        The rest of the keyword arguments depend on the terminal type.

        Keyword arguments for 'postscript' terminal:

          'mode=<string>' -- set the postscript submode ('landscape',
              'portrait', 'eps', or 'default').  The default is
              to leave this option unspecified.

          'eps=<bool>' -- shorthand for 'mode="eps"'; asks gnuplot to
              generate encapsulated postscript.

          'enhanced=<bool>' -- if set (the default), then generate
              enhanced postscript, which allows extra features like
              font-switching, superscripts, and subscripts in axis
              labels.  (Some old gnuplot versions do not support
              enhanced postscript; if this is the case set
              gp.GnuplotOpts.prefer_enhanced_postscript=None.)

          'color=<bool>' -- if set, create a plot with color.  Default
              is to leave this option unchanged.

          'solid=<bool>' -- if set, force lines to be solid (i.e., not
              dashed).

          'duplexing=<string>' -- set duplexing option ('defaultplex',
              'simplex', or 'duplex').  Only request double-sided
              printing if your printer can handle it.  Actually this
              option is probably meaningless since hardcopy() can only
              print a single plot at a time.

          'fontname=<string>' -- set the default font to <string>,
              which must be a valid postscript font.  The default is
              to leave this option unspecified.

          'fontsize=<double>' -- set the default font size, in
              postscript points.

        Note that this command will return immediately even though it
        might take gnuplot a while to actually finish working.  Be
        sure to pause briefly before issuing another command that
        might cause the temporary files to be deleted.
