Hi,

I was also wondering about reducing the footprint of variable names as well.

The long names are nice and explicitly and are eminently readable.  This 
is great for compiled source code but can have a heavy impact on 
interpreted code like js and svg.

I was looking in particular at the gnuplot svg javascript code there are 
two variables which seem to occur in every other line in the code.


gnuplot_svg plotcoord

replacing these two alone with a one or two letter variable name would 
likely reduce the js footprint by about half.

Since I run "standalone" option this gets included in each file and it 
would be nice to reduce it somewhat.

I was intending to do this locally , but since the subject came up, I 
thought I'd post the suggestion.

Best regards, Peter.
