[Gnuplot-info] key/legend control

[Peggy Li <peg...@go...>]

Hi

I have a legend which has 10 keys (10 items). I have used:

set key horiz
set key

I have also tried to use

set key height 0.5
set key width 20

to define/fix the physical size of the legend. But I still do not understand
how to use or define the number after

set key height
set key width

For example, how I am going to set the size of the legend to hold the 10
items of keys in only 2 columns. That is 5 items of keys in 1 column. Is
there also a way so that Gnuplot can automatically set the size of the
legend after I fix the number of columns or rows to hold the keys.

Thanks in advance.

the number of rows/columns is calculated automatically to
fill the screen.

to change this two new options need to be introduced to the
'set key' command, something 'maxcols' and 'maxrows'.
these values could then be used to change the automatically
calculated number of rows/columns.

but this needs some changes in the source code.

So will this be implemented in the future source code for user's
convenience!
