That's one of its effects. y2tic labels, on the other hand, will look quite a lot better with "% g", on all terminals, than with the older default of "%g".

If at all, the patch would have to be applied to gnuplot.doc. .texi is a generated file. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (br...@ph...) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain. |
