[Gnuplot-info] margin and ratio -2. for instance

[cédric o. <ced...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am going on plotting with gnuplot.

I face a difficulty in setting with accuracy the positions of plots in
a multiplot session.

When I do not use set size ratio -5. for instance, no problem my plots
are very well located, one close to each other. To do that, I used set
{l,r,t,b}margin as explained in the demos.

However, I need to use the ratio option in order to plot vectors of a
given field but on axis with different units. For instance, I plot the
components of the speed u(z,t) v(z,t) as a function of time and
vertical position z. The scale for the vector representation needs to
be the same for the two components so I set the ratio (-5 for
instance) and then multiply the u component by 5.

Margins are not respected anymore. In fact, they are for the upper and
lower plots. But for the left and right plots, they are not.

I have read "set size" was ignored when setting margins at screen
although the ratio seems to be respected.

Any hint?

Thank you by advance,

Cédric
