Re: [Gnuplot-info] sqrt symbol for sqrt(x+3) and sqrt(x)+3

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

it's better to position the bar first and then the other stuff, otherwise
characters may overlap.

doesn't look good:
set title '{/Symbol @\326\140}@m{/Symbol \140}@+{/Symbol \140}3'

looks much better:
set title '{/Symbol @{\140\140\140\140}\326}m+3
