Sorry that the document is not well written.
For a number of image formats (e.g. bmp, jpg, png), the module would
set the terminal itself. The list of the supported formats can be found in
the "output" of the "Chart Options" session of the document.
For some other formats such as svg and html5, the terminal is need to be
specified by the user. This is not mentioned in the document currently and
will be added later.
