                      2: 
                      3: The \textbf{gnuplot} tag allows an author to design a plot which is created
                      4: when it is viewed.  This is intended for use in homework problems
                      5: where each student needs to see a distinct plot.  It can be used in
                      6: conjunction with a \textbf{script} tag to generate random plots.
                      7: 
                      8: The following parameters may be set:

                     29: The font used for any text on the plot is set with this tag.

                     31: \item \texttt{Transparent image} ``Yes'' or ``No''.  
                     32: If the image is transparent the background color will be ignored.
