[Q] How do I plot in the terminal?

[NightMachinery]

Using feedgnuplot --stream --terminal 'dumb 120,30' --lines causes continuous new plots to be outputted, not updating a single plot:

I tried --terminal 'domterm' which hanged, and --terminal 'xterm':

The "dumb" terminal is dumb: i.e. it can only print text. It cannot go back, and overwrite previously-written text. I don't believe gnuplot has a terminal that both - produces output as text on the console - uses console control characters to overwrite previous output So I don't think what you're asking for is possible. But I cannot believe you actually want it. Why wouldn't you use any of the graphical terminals?

Ok, thanks.

Why wouldn't you use any of the graphical
terminals?

GUIs are slow, hard to window manage, do not work remotely, ... .
