GNUPlot Manual

106 gnuplot 4.0 36 SET-SHOW
You cannot introduce a new font in a set label command.2 fontsize Fonts are scaled assuming the
page is 6 inches wide. If the size command is used to change the aspect ratio of the page or the CGM
file is converted to a different width, the resulting font sizes will be scaled up or down accordingly. To
change the assumed width, use the width option.
36.59.9.2 Linewidth The linewidth option sets the width of lines in pt. The default width is 1 pt.
Scaling is affected by the actual width of the page, as discussed under the fontsize and width options.
36.59.9.3 Rotate The norotate option may be used to disable text rotation. For example, the
CGM input filter for Word for Windows 6.0c can accept rotated text, but the DRAW editor within Word
cannot. If you edit a graph (for example, to label a curve), all rotated text is restored to horizontal.
The Y axis label will then extend beyond the clip boundary. With norotate, the Y axis label starts in
a less attractive location, but the page can be edited without damage. The rotate option confirms the
default behavior.
36.59.9.4 Solid The solid option may be used to disable dashed line styles in the plots. This is
useful when color is enabled and the dashing of the lines detracts from the appearance of the plot. The
dashed option confirms the default behavior, which gives a different dash pattern to each curve.
36.59.9.5 Size Default size of a CGM plot is 32599 units wide and 23457 units high for landscape,
or 23457 units wide by 32599 units high for portrait.
36.59.9.6 Width All distances in the CGM file are in abstract units. The application that reads
the file determines the size of the final plot. By default, the width of the final plot is assumed to be 6
inches (15.24 cm). This distance is used to calculate the correct font size, and may be changed with the
width option. The keyword should be followed by the width in points. (Here, a point is 1/72 inch, as in
PostScript. This unit is known as a "big point" in TeX.) Gnuplot expressions can be used to convert
from other units.
Example:
set terminal cgm width 432
set terminal cgm width 6*72
set terminal cgm width 10/2.54*72
# default
# same as above
# 10 cm wide
36.59.9.7 Nofontlist The default font table includes the fonts recommended for WebCGM, which
are compatible with the Computer Graphics Metafile input filter for Microsoft Office and Corel Draw.
Another application might use different fonts and/or different font names, which may not be documented.
As a workaround, the nofontlist option deletes the font table from the CGM file. In this case, the reading
application should use a default table. Gnuplot will still use its own default font table to select font
indices. Thus, ’Helvetica’ will give you an index of 1, which should get you the first entry in your
application’s default font table. ’Helvetica Bold’ will give you its second entry, etc.
The former winword6 option is now a deprecated synonym for nofontlist. The problems involving the
color and font tables that the winword6 option was intended to work around turned out to be gnuplot
bugs which have now been fixed.
36.59.10 Corel
The corel terminal driver supports CorelDraw.
Syntax:
set terminal corel { default
| {monochrome | color
{"" {
{ { }}}}}
