#454 Plot with labels boxed wrong behavior

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a bug, but possibly the new 'plot with labels boxed' has a behavior that does not match the rest of gnuplot.

When I want to generate a gnuplot image larger, I use a 'SizeScale' parameter, along with the 'fontscale' and 'linewidth' parameters, and this will make my fonts and lines larger in the same way as the image size.

For example:

SizeScale=1
set term pngcairo enhanced font "Verdana,10" size 960*SizeScale, 720*SizeScale rounded fontscale SizeScale linewidth SizeScale
set output 'image1.png'
set style textbox opaque
plot '-' u 2:3:1 w labels center boxed font "Verdana,10" tc rgb 'black'
PNT1 2.3 48.8
PNT2 8.5 47.4
PNT3 1.4 43.4
PNT4 12.5 41.8
PNT5 23.4 42.6
e

If I change the 'SizeScale' parameter to 8, the image will be 8 times bigger, and every line and font will be also 8 times bigger and the proportions will be maintained.
Everything but the label box line, which will be still just 1 pixel width, and so in the large image it will be very small.
I have attached image1.png and image8.png so you can see what I mean.

Is this a bug or is it the expected behavior?

Thank you,
Teo

Let's call it a feature request rather than a bug.
I've just finished reworking the textbox so that fillcolor and bordercolor as supported consistently. But there is no border linewidth parameter so far.
