[Gnuplot-info] Adjusting Font and Label Position

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

   Despite reading on-line and other documentation I'm not getting the
appearance as I want. Here is the script:

---
set datafile missing "NA"
set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d"
set format x "%d-%m-%Y"
set nokey
set xtics rotate font "palatino,11"
set xlabel "Date" font "palatine,11" offset -3
set ylabel "Precipitation (in)" font "palatino,13"
set title "Daily Precipitation 2008-2010: CC-OR-8"
set size ratio -2

plot "cocorahs.dat" u 1:($2) w boxes
---

   Three issues I've not resolved:

   1. I cannot move the xlabel down from the rotated xtic labels

   2. The typeface does not change to palatine (and I cannot find a list of
 	the PostScript typefaces supported by gnuplot).

   3. I've not seen where to specify a line color of -1 (black) for the
 	boxes.

   Pointers appreciated.
