[Gnuplot-info] Set key spacing command issues

[Joel F. <joe...@gm...>]

I have searched for the answer to this question on numerous occasions with no
luck. I am hoping someone here has the answer. When I use the "set key
spacing" command to decrease the space between my key titles the sample
lines and points do not to readjust along with the titles. I end up with the
lines sort of "top justified" instead of centered with the label text (I can
upload a picture if necessary). Does anyone know how to center the sample
lines with the label text? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

please provide a sample script together with information about
which version of gnuplot you are using and which terminal.

set output "1319nm.comparison.ps"
set xlabel "Exposure Duration (s)" font "Helvetica,7" offset 0,1.5
set ylabel "Damage Threshold (W/cm^2)" font "Helvetica,7" offset 4.45,0
set logscale
set xrange [0.07:30]
set yrange [0.1:1000]
set bmargin 1.5
set tmargin .5
set lmargin 3.0
set rmargin 3.0
set size square
set xtics font "Helvetica,6" offset 0,0.5
set ytics font "Helvetica,6" offset 0.5,0

tell gnuplot that your standard font size is 7pt:

set term postscript size 3.3125,2.31875 enhanced font "Helvetica,7"

then the key spacing is calculated based on this font size and sample lines
and key text are at the same height. and, you don't need all these font
specifications like "Helvetica,7" or "{/Helvetica=7 ..."

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Set key spacing command issues

That makes sense. I knew that those spacings were calculated like that but I
thought that it would calculate the spacing from the inline font size that I
was setting. I have no idea why I wasn't setting the terminal font size to
begin with. Anyhow, thanks you very much for your help!
