I get an error, when I try to start gnuplot via cygwin (see below): Gnuplot does not seem to know the wxt-term, but according to this page (https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2020-July/009620.html), gnuplot should be able to know it.
After this I can use gnuplot by hand, e.g. typing in comments and it works normal. But usually a have automatic plot programs and the error will cause the program to crash, so I can't work with it properly.
Is there any way to force gnuplot to ignore the error? Or can I start gnuplot directly with a certain terminal (e.g. png)?
Thanks Sandra

Not tested but I suspect you need to use the gnuplot-wx package as there are several gnuplot packages:
gnuplot-base A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
gnuplot-doc A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
gnuplot-qt5 A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
gnuplot-wx A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
gnuplot-X11 A command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
