gnuplot terminal wxt not available

[giraldeau]

On my system, there is no wxt terminal for gnuplot. There are no instructions on how to enable support for this terminal. I set "eps" instead and it works. Is there any reason why this terminal is used? Thanks.

Hi. No particular reasons, only that it should be the default x11 output. On ubuntu/debian it should work installing gnuplot-x11 package.

Unfortunately, that terminal does not work correctly (Ubuntu 15.10). The package gnuplot-x11 is installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep gnuplot-x11
ii  gnuplot-x11 4.6.6-2 amd64 Command-line driven interactive plotting program. X-package

And gnuplot produces this output:

$ gnuplot rt-app-duration.plot
set terminal wxt
             ^
"rt-app-duration.plot", line 9: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
