[Gnuplot-bugs] Bug: SVG terminal, enhanced text mode and backslashes

[Tilman S. <til...@gm...>]

Heyho everyone,

before you complain: I tried to post to your newsgroup, but I was not
successful. However, I do not have the time to dig into the newsgroup
system for one post, therefore I post to this mailing list.

I think I found a bug:

Using the svg terminal and enhanced text mode, I am not able to produce
a single backslash in the output:

plot [...] title '\tT' produces "tT",
title '\\tT' produces "\\tT",
title "\tT" produces "T",
title "\\tT" produces "tT",
title "\\\tT" produces "T",
title "\\\\tT" produces "\\tT".

However, I need the text "\tT" in my svg and I need enhanced mode to use
a smaller font size than the default size. It works with enhanced mode
off, but then I cannot change the title's font size. I checked the text
output with Inkscape.

I am using Gnuplot 4.4.4.

Bye,
Tilman Schröder
