Table

Instead of producing a picture, the table terminal prints out evaluation results in a multicolumn ASCII table of X Y Z values. For those times when you really want to see the numbers, now you can see them on the screen or save to a file. This can be useful if you want to use the contouring engine of gnuplot to work out the contours of your data and then save them for further use, perhaps for plotting with plot. See set contour for an example. The same trick can be used to save gridded data (set dgrid3d).
