Image pixels

Some terminals use device- or library-specific optimizations to render image data within a rectangular 2D area. This sometimes produces undesirable output, e.g. bad clipping or scaling, missing edges. The pixels keyword tells gnuplot to use generic code that renders the image pixel-by-pixel instead. This rendering mode is slower and may result in much larger output files, but should produce a consistent rendered view on all terminals. Example:
     plot 'data' with image pixels
