A keyword with min or max appended (this cannot be done with xy) tells gnuplot to autoscale just the minimum or maximum of that axis. Where is either x, y, z, cb, x2, y2 or xy. However, the output arguments of inverse hyperbolic functions of complex arguments are affected if these functions are used, set angles radians must be in effect to maintain consistency between input and output arguments. It has no effect on the arguments of hyperbolic functions or Bessel functions. Set angles also affects the arguments of the machine-defined functions sin(x), cos(x) and tan(x), and the outputs of asin(x), acos(x), atan(x), atan2(x), and arg(x). The angle specified in set grid polar is also read and displayed in the units specified by set angles. The angle setting also applies to 3D mapping as set via the set mapping command. This is particularly useful for plots of data files. If set angles degrees is specified before set polar, then the default range is and the independent variable has units of degrees. Angles By default, gnuplot assumes the independent variable in polar graphs is in units of radians. The set and unset commands may optionally contain an iteration clause. See also the reset command, which returns all settable parameters to default values.

Options changed using set can be returned to the default state by giving the corresponding unset command.

The show command shows their settings show all shows all the settings. No screen is drawn, however, until a plot, splot, or replot command is given. Set-show The set command can be used to set lots of options.
