[Gnuplot-info] the effect of latex type generation is not good

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

Dear All,

I need to generate latex type of display on eps file. I used

set term postscript eps enhanced color solid

to generate latex display. I use the standard latex command as

c^{\dagger}_{1,\uparrow} c_{2,\uparrow}

to try to generate nice display. But the generated display is not good,
\*** cannot be recognized, space between two c are too wide. I don't know
how to deal with it. The version of gnuplot if 4.4.

Thank you very much for helping me out on this, the latex feature is is
very important for me!

Sincerely,
Jon

That's the wrong way to start.  You need to understand that "enhanced" 
is not, nor does it try to be, a full emulation of TeX's math style.  If 
the latter is what you want, you need to use a terminal with 'latex' in 
the name, e.g. epslatex.

That's out-of-date.

Thanks so much!

I didn't use too many types of terminals, but I do know there is reason why
so many terminals are produced for use. Is there way to systematically
introduce what these terminals are doing? Not to be too technical, but
simply say, say, epslatex is to generate eps file for use with latex
document, etc

Terminals define the type of output you get. eg. "term postscript" will generate
a postscript file. please be aware that the terminal can have arguments attached.
from help term postscript:
     set terminal postscript {landscape | portrait | eps}
                               {enhanced | noenhanced}
                               {defaultplex | simplex | duplex}
                               {fontfile [add | delete] "<filename>"
                                | nofontfiles} {{no}adobeglyphnames}
                               {level1 | leveldefault}
                               {color | colour | monochrome}
                               {solid | dashed}
                               {dashlength | dl <DL>}
                               {linewidth | lw <LW>}
                               {rounded | butt}
                               {clip | noclip}
                               {palfuncparam <samples>{,<maxdeviation>}}
                               {size <XX>{unit},<YY>{unit}}
                               {blacktext | colortext | colourtext}
                               {{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}}

Dear Hans and other members,

It is great to use epslatex terminal to produce very professional eps file.
But I still met with one issue, that is, I cannot adjust font size for say
key, label, axis, but all the fonts are of the same default size. The
script I used is below. Thanks for further help on fixing this,

Sincerely,
Jon
