Floating point exceptions (floating point number too large/small, divide by zero, etc.) may be generated by user defined functions. Some of the demos in particular may cause numbers to exceed the floating point range. Whether the system ignores such exceptions (in which case gnuplot labels the corresponding point as undefined) or aborts gnuplot depends on the compiler/runtime environment.
The gamma and bessel functions do not support complex arguments.
Coordinates specified as "time" wrap at 24 hours.
Parametric curves: The 'nohidden3d' option to exempt individual plots from the global setting 'set hidden3d' does not work for parametric curves. Iteration inside a plot command does not work for parametric curves.
X11 terminal: It is difficult to select UTF-8 fonts. Only one color palette at a time is active for any given x11 plot window. This means that multiplots whose constituent plots use different palettes will not display correctly in x11.
Qt terminal: 3D rotation of polygons and surfaces can be very slow; this is strongly affected by the Qt rendering mode (see Qt documentation).
