[Gnuplot-info] Tezt size flexibility in file output

[Gauthier, D. <dav...@in...>]

Hi:

 

GNUPLOT Novice here with a question.

 

I'm trying to generate images files from gnuplot runs.  I'm successful
in creating gif (I'm running 4.0 on LInux).  And, if I read the on-line
help correctly, I'm limited to only a few text sizes (tiny, small,
medium, large, giant).  So, the explicit text size declatarions I have
in the gnuplot script that I run really don't have any effect on the
output (please correct if this sounds wrong).

 

QUestin:  Is there another file format that will give me more control
over text sizes?

 

A different question:

 

I'm trying to include footnotes at the bottom of my plot.  The only way
I can see to do that is to add xlabel and play with xoff/yoff to place
the notes. Is there a better way?

 

 

Thanks in Advance

Then before you do anything else, I have to suggest you update to the 
current version.  4.0 is almost 4 years old now.

With the GIF driver in the version you're using, that's probably correct.
