[Gnuplot-info] How to extend the X axis longer so that the output file would actually look bigger and longer

[Sara K. <sar...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I got gnuplot last night and have been working with it since this afternoon.
 I enjoyed it a lot.

But I still need to figure out:

How to make the x axis look longer in the plot or more importantly in the
out put file. I am plotting the data from a long range of dates and if it
keeps putting them in a small standard size plot nothing could be understood
from the plot.

I tried it with excel and when the graph is 9240*291 pixels, it gets
readable. But now the gnuplot graph is 640* 480 and I do not know how to set
the x axis to be longer.

Right now my x axis looks like:
set xdata time
set timefmt "%b %d %H:%M\t"
set format x "%b %d %H:%M"
set xlabel "Date & Time"
set xrange [*:*]


what is the command to make it longer?


Thank you,
Sara
