When GNUPLOT is run, it looks for an initialization file to load.
This file is called .gnuplot on Unix and AmigaDOS systems, and
GNUPLOT.INI on other systems. If this file is not found in the
current directory, the program will look for it in the home directory
(under AmigaDOS, AtariTOS, MS-DOS and OS/2, the environment variable
GNUPLOT should contain the name of this directory). Note: if NOCWDRC
is defined during the installation, GNUPLOT will not read from the
current directory.
If this file is found, GNUPLOT executes the commands in this file. This is most useful for setting the terminal type and defining any functions or variables that are used often.
