Re: [Gnuplot-info] Unexpected output for LaTeX when using "set size ..."

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

if you want a larger plot don't 'set size 1.5,1.5' instead
'set terminal latex size 7.5in,4.5in'
(works for gnuplot version >= 4.2.2)

see
http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/node230.html
especially the section about scale values > 1
