Instead consecutive points should be skipped if they are close to each other (with regard to plot units) - it makes no sense to include points which you won't see anyway. This could be done by defining a grid with a certain (user defined) resolution and rounding the coordinates (plot units) of a line point to the nearest grid node. All consecutive line points falling on the same grid node should not be passed on to terminal drivers. The psxy utility of GMT (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/) does this for instance. I am not aware of such a functionality within gnuplot but it would be a nice feature. > > But this is an issue of Gnuplot, not something that a terminal writer > is supposed to think of. Indeed, this was my point in the first place. It should be handled by gnuplot prior to handing the data over to the terminal driver. > But yes, it would be nice if also ConTeXt terminal would be included. > It still doesn't support raw images, but most other features are > present. Right, this might help increase the awareness among academics. Also not everyone has the ability to build gnuplot from sources.
