When I try to plot a graph on GNU Octave, and try to use plot, it gives me the following output
set terminal aqua enhanced title \"Figure 1\" size 560 420
And if you need Aqua terminal instead of X11 - this might help:
brew uninstall --force gnuplot
brew install gnuplot --with-aquaterm --with-qt4
You don't need to add setenv("GNUTERM","X11") or add GNUTERM env.var to octaverc file.
