| AquaTerm allows you to plot things in OS X without using an X client, such as X11. This has two advantages:
| | #REDIRECT [[Installing MacOS X Bundle]] |
| *It requires less memory and hard drive space, if you don't have X installed or running already.
| |
| *The graphs look better, and can be saved as Quartz PDFs.

| ==Installation==
| |
| Aquaterm is included in gnuplot in the extras folder of the Octave install image, and if you install it separately there might be issues.
| |
| | |
| However, if you must install it separately, Aquaterm can be obtained as .dmg from the following URL:
| |
| http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net/
| |
| | |
| As always, drag and drop it into your applications folder. If you installed Octave as a .dmg, plots will work with X11 automatically unless you change your environmental variables. For most users, adding
| |
| export GNUTERM='aqua'
| |
| in <code>~/.profile</code> will solve the problem.
| |
| | |
| Open a new terminal to refresh your environmental variables. Plotting with Octave (and/or Gnuplot) should display in Aquaterm now.
