[Gnuplot-info] math symbols in label/title environment

[Sebastian R. <ma...@se...>]

Hi folks,

After searching the Internet without any suitable results, I finally
send this mail to this list. I hope someone can help me :)

I use GnuPlot to obtain a 3D diagram of measured data. Since I have two
different graphs within the plot I use the "title" command after "splot"
to define which graph stands for which measured data.
However, I have issues with using math commands/symbols within this
environment. I've already figured out how to integrate greek symbols, e.g.:

set term postscript eps enhanced monochrome
set output "<FILENAME>.eps"
splot "file.csv" using 2:1:3 with lines title "CI_{max} <= {/Symbol m}
+- 0.212"

Now I want to change the "+-" to the common math symbol, e.g. within
LaTeX "\pm"... Unfortunately, it seems like I can't produce such symbols
within this environment?!

BTW - I've already figured out how to produce tex files that comprises
math commands (set terminal latex)... but this somehow does not work
well together with the LaTeX-Paper-template I have to use for the
considered publication.

Any suggestions?


Best Regards,
Sebastian

splot ... title "CI_{max} {/Symbol \243 m \261} 0.212"

seems that you are not aware of the 'postscript guide', delivered
together with the source code of gnuplot, on linux systems normally
located at:
/usr/share/doc/packages/gnuplot/doc/ps_guide.ps

Hi guys,

 thanks a lot for your help ... it works fine. And sorry for this silly
question - I was not aware of the "gnuplot-doc" package within the LINUX
sources :-[
