Try the Maximabook - I did try to do a description of the current
plot2d options, but I don't know how much more helpful it is since I
was working off Bill's docs and a little trial and error.  If you want
stuff that's not documented there, then the source code is indeed the
only resort.

Our gnuplot GUI could really stand a little retuning - the cvs version
can do 3D rotation without having to send the replot command each time,
and it would be nice to be able to access a larger part of the featuer
set of gnuplot from the GUI.  Problem is, I can't figure out how to
disable the tcl GUI, much less update it. :-/.
