By setting all the margins to zero, I now have accurate control of the border lengths by using "set size" and "set origin". Thanks. This should have dawned on me. I wrote a patch to change the margin variables inside gnuplot to floats instead of ints. At the time I did that patch, I was probably thinking that fine tuning of the plot should be done using the margin settings, which when they are int variables doesn't work so well. But setting margins to 0 is the way to go in the situation I have. Dan |
