## png

If gnuplot was configured to use the libgd library for png/gif/jpeg output, then it can also be used to read these same image types as binary files. You can use an explicit command

          plot 'file.png' binary filetype=png

Or the file type will be recognized automatically from the extension if you have previously requested

          set datafile binary filetype=auto
