[Gnuplot-info] question about behavior of gnuplot 'xsize' parameter

[Barry Z. <zee...@ma...>]

Hi,

I need an unusually large x dimension, but I found that when I set xsize to
somewhere between 50 and 100 (writing to a png image on mac os X) instead of
increasing the x dimension, I get 2 replicas, side by side, of a very large
(but still not large enough) graph. xsize scales perfectly up to around 50,
and then this unusual behavior occurs quite reproducibly.

My guess is that there is a constant within gnuplot that sets an upper limit
to the value of xsize?

I am a novice at using gnuplot, let alone editing and recompiling it, and I
was hoping for some guidance on how to overcome this problem. If it is a
matter of editing and recompiling, I would need fairly specific help on the
directory location and file to edit, and how to recompile.

Thanks for your help,
