36.59.18 Emxvga
The emxvga, emxvesa and vgal terminal drivers support PCs with SVGA, vesa SVGA and
VGA graphics boards, respectively. They are intended to be compiled with "emx-gcc" under
either DOS or OS/2. They also need VESA and SVGAKIT maintained by Johannes Martin
(JMARTIN@GOOFY.ZDV.UNI-MAINZ.DE) with additions by David J. Liu (liu@phri.nyu.edu).
Syntax:
set terminal emxvga
set terminal emxvesa {vesa-mode}
set terminal vgal
The only option is the vesa mode for emxvesa, which defaults to G640x480x256.
36.59.19 Epslatex
The epslatex driver generates output for further processing by LaTeX. Syntax:
set terminal epslatex {default}
{color | monochrome} {solid | dashed}
{""} {}
default mode sets all options to their defaults: monochrome, dashed, "default" and 11pt. Default
size of a plot is 5 inches wide and 3 inches high.
solid draws all plots with solid lines, overriding any dashed patterns; "" is the name of
font; and is the size of the font in PostScript points. Font selection isn’t supported yet.
Font size selection is supported only for the calculation of proper spacing. The actual LaTeX font at the
point of inclusion is taken, so use LaTeX commands for changing fonts. If you use e.g. 12pt as font size
for your LaTeX documents, use ’"default" 12’ as options.
All drivers for LaTeX offer a special way of controlling text positioning: (a) If any text string begins
with ’{’, you also need to include a ’}’ at the end of the text, and the whole text will be centered both
horizontally and vertically by LaTeX. (b) If the text string begins with ’[’, you need to continue it with:
a position specification (up to two out of t,b,l,r), ’]{’, the text itself, and finally, ’}’. The text itself may
be anything LaTeX can typeset as an LR-box. \rule{}{}’s may help for best positioning. See also the
documentation for the pslatex (p. 129) terminal driver. To create multiline labels, use \shortstack,
for example
set ylabel ’[r]{\shortstack{first line \\ second line}}’
The driver produces two different files, one for the eps part of the figure and one for the LaTeX part.
The name of the eps file is taken from the set output command. The name of the LaTeX file is derived
by replacing the file extension (normally .eps) with .tex instead. There is no LaTeX output if no output
file is given! Remember to close the output file before leaving gnuplot.
In your LaTeX documents use ’\input{filename}’ to include the figure. The .eps file is included by the
command \includegraphics{...}, so you must also include \usepackage{graphicx} in the LaTeX preamble.
Pdf files can be made from the eps file using ’epstopdf’. If the graphics package is properly configured,
the LaTeX files can also be processed by pdflatex without changes, using the pdf files instead of the eps
files.
36.59.20 Epson-180dpi
This driver supports a family of Epson printers and derivatives.
epson-180dpi and epson-60dpi are drivers for Epson LQ-style 24-pin printers with resolutions of 180
and 60 dots per inch, respectively.
epson-lx800 is a generic 9-pin driver appropriate for printers like the Epson LX-800, the Star NL-10
and NX-1000, the PROPRINTER, and so forth.
nec-cp6 is generic 24-pin driver that can be used for printers like the NEC CP6 and the Epson LQ-800.
