I can not find the .gnuplot file in my home directory. Is .gnuplot the exact file name or is it something else like xyz.gnuplot_abc?

I am using Ubuntu18.04 and gnuplot4.6. Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

The only way I know is to add a line to the .gnuplot file in your home directory:

 set term x11

The commands in this file are executed before any others when gnuplot starts.
