 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GIF SUPPORT
 ==============================

 Gnuplot requires the gd library from http://www.boutell.com/gd/ to
 create gif output. Note that the use of this code may subject your
 organisation to a charge of willful patent infringement (as stated
 by UNISYS) unless you are in possession of a UNISYS license.

 The UNISYS patent covers the LZW technology which is used to create
 gifs.  To our knowledge, only gd library version 1.3 and 1.4 are free
 of LZW code and should therefore be used with gnuplot (unless you have
 a license from Unisys to use LZW code, in which case version 1.2 and 1.5
 is fine, too).  The binaries provided here have been built with version
 1.3.  Version 1.6+ cannot be used because support for GIF has been
 removed altogether.

 However, gnuplot can use gd library 1.6+ to generate png and jpeg images.

 FAQ

 The gnuplot FAQ is now available at http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/.
