+@cindex GNUTERM
+
+In addition, the gnuplot program usually provides a number of different
+interfaces, known as terminals.  Octave normally chooses a default terminal,
+but you can override this with the environment variable @env{GNUTERM}.  This
+variable may be set in the shell before starting Octave or from within Octave
+before plotting for the first time.  For example,
+
+@example
+@group
+setenv ("GNUTERM", "wxt")
+graphics_toolkit ("gnuplot")
+plot (1:10)
+@end group
+@end example
