You'd better use pause mouse close at the end of the script. This way you will have control over the plot with mouse and various keybindings w/o any extra polling, unlike --persist or reread.

You'd better use pause mouse close at the end of the script. This way you will have control over the plot with mouse and various key bindings w/o any extra polling, unlike --persist or reread.

The default key bindings include:

 <B1> doubleclick   send mouse coordinates to clipboard (pm win wxt x11)
 <B2>               annotate the graph using `mouseformat` (see keys '1', '2')
                    or draw labels if `set mouse labels is on`
 <Ctrl-B2>          remove label close to pointer if `set mouse labels` is on
 <B3>               mark zoom region (only for 2d-plots and maps)
 <B1-Motion>        change view (rotation); use <Ctrl> to rotate the axes only
 <B2-Motion>        change view (scaling); use <Ctrl> to scale the axes only
 <Shift-B2-Motion>  vertical motion -- change xyplane
 <B3-Motion>        change view (azimuth)
 <wheel-up>           scroll up (in +Y direction)
 <wheel-down>         scroll down
 <shift-wheel-up>     scroll left (in -X direction)
 <shift-wheel-down>   scroll right
 <Control-WheelUp>    zoom in on mouse position
 <Control-WheelDown>  zoom out on mouse position
 <Shift-Control-WheelUp>    pinch on x
 <Shift-Control-WheelDown>  expand on x
