yes, my failure, I used...just missed in the mail.
set multiplot layout 1,2.

I have another question related to multiplot. with "layout 1,2" I draw 2 plots side by side, so they have the same height as a single plot and the width is divided. These two plots look not very good because they are stretched. Well, thats my own sensation, but it annoys me.

So I tried,

set multiplot layout 1,2 size 1,0.8
the plots look good for me now, but the problem is that the canvas (or better call it terminal??) everytime has size 1,1. Therefore I get empty space above the diagrams (the missing 20%). This looks very ugly in latex. Is there a possibility to clip the whole drawing area or any other option to avoid the empty space.

Thanks for your answers,
Daniel Graupner.
