[Gnuplot-info] Ebhanced terminal type with Multiplot error

[Suman D. <su...@ph...>]

hi,

This is Suman from Univ of Miami .. I have been Gnuplot since 2 years now.
It's just great to use. But right now, I am need to combine two plots
together whose x-coordinate scale factor is the same but not the
y-coordinate. I used the multiplot command to do this and since I needed to
change the font also for some labels and titles, I used the enhanced
terminal type. Now I want to put a label as "~" at the end points of the two
figures separating y-scales(or we can say between the two figures on the
y-axis) to show the change of scale but I am not able to do so. When I do
not use the terminal type "enhanced", the "~" label works but when I use it
along with this terminal, I don't see my figures at all except the lower
figures bounding box and the x and y scales .. I believe there is some font
problem probably but I do not know what exactly it it. So please can you
help me in this?? I will be very thankful to you.

Suman

Multiplot is almost never the right technique for that kind of job. 
Secondary y axes would be a lot easier to use.

Nitpick: "enhanced" is not a terminal type.  It's a common terminal 
option.  What actually was your terminal type?

Read "help enhanced" again, slowly.  Find the '~' and learn what you 
just did, and how not to do it.

hi,

Thank you for the quick response.. my terminal type is postscript. But I
don't understand how should i use secondary y-axes?? 


Thanking you,

Suman
