[Gnuplot-info] Questions

[Dr. I. D. J. <die...@t-...>]

Dear listmembers,
recently I detected an issue with gnuplot someone might be able to help me 
with:

I am using the y2-axis for angle plotting. I say:

y2range[-90:90]
set y2tics
set y2tics add ("-90" -90, "90" 90)

now, the "-90" value looks ok, the "90" value sits too close to the axis 
(compared to the rest of the y2-axis labels). This is the case for both the 
postscript and the wxt - terminal. The solution is to modify the "set y2tics  
add" - command:

set y2tics add ("-90" -90, " 90" 90)
i. e. add a blank in front of "90".

This behaviour shows in both gnuplot 4.2.5 and in 4.3.0 from March timeframe.

Secondly, I often use expressions with omega, say omega=2.0*pi*x (x meaning 
the frequency f in this case ..). Is there any way to make gnuplot use say "w" 
rather than "x", where w=2.0*pi*x, rather than defining

w=2.0*pi*x

and writing

XL(x)=w(x)*L

Thank you very much for looking into this,
take care
