[Gnuplot-info] Canvas / plot size confusion

[mikeincousa <mik...@gm...>]

It all sounds so simple and easy, so I must be missing something somewhere.

What I want to do is place a full scale 8 x 10 inch plot on tabloid sized
paper.

1
gnuplot> reset
gnuplot> unset autoscale
gnuplot> set terminal pdfcairo size 17in,11in #landscape
Terminal type set to 'pdfcairo'
Options are ' transparent enhanced fontscale 0.5 size 17.00in, 11.00in '
gnuplot> set output "test.pdf"
gnuplot> set size 8in,10in
                   ^
         unexpected or unrecognized token

gnuplot> plot x**2
gnuplot> unset output

2.
set size ratio 8in,10in
#returns a 10 x 10 square

3.
set size nosquare 8in,10in
                   ^
         unexpected or unrecognized token

4. and on and on....
