GNUPlot Manual

36 SET-SHOW gnuplot 4.0 115
is landscape or portrait. is the physical plotting size of the plot, which is one
of the following: letter for standard (8 1/2" X 11") displays, legal for (8 1/2" X 14") displays, noextended
for (36" X 48") displays (a letter size ratio) or, extended for (36" X 55") displays (almost
a legal size ratio). color is for multi-pen (i.e. color) plots, and is the number of
pens (i.e. colors) used in color plots. monochrome is for one (e.g. black) pen plots. solid draws all
lines as solid lines, or dashed will draw lines with different dashed and dotted line patterns.
is stick, univers, cg times, zapf dingbats, antique olive, arial, courier, garamond antigua,
letter gothic, cg omega, albertus, times new roman, clarendon, coronet, marigold, truetype
symbols, or wingdings. is the font size in points. The point type selection can
be the standard default set by specifying nopspoints, or the same set of point types found in the
postscript terminal by specifying pspoints.
Note that built-in support of some of these options is printer device dependent. For instance, all the
fonts are supposedly supported by the HP Laserjet IV, but only a few (e.g. univers, stick) may be
supported by the HP Laserjet III and the Designjet 750C. Also, color obviously won’t work on the the
laserjets since they are monochrome devices.
Defaults: landscape, noextended, color (6 pens), solid, univers, 12 point,
and nopspoints.
With pcl5 international characters are handled by the printer; you just put the appropriate 8-bit character
codes into the text strings. You don’t need to bother with set encoding.
HPGL graphics can be imported by many software packages.
36.59.34 Hpljii
The hpljii terminal driver supports the HP Laserjet Series II printer. The hpdj driver supports the HP
DeskJet 500 printer. These drivers allow a choice of resolutions.
Syntax:
set terminal hpljii | hpdj {}
where res may be 75, 100, 150 or 300 dots per inch; the default is 75.
resolutions may require a large amount of memory.
Rasterization at the higher
The hp500c terminal is similar to hpdj; hp500c additionally supports color and compression.
36.59.35 Hppj
The hppj terminal driver supports the HP PaintJet and HP3630 printers. The only option is the choice
of font.
Syntax:
set terminal hppj {FNT5X9 | FNT9X17 | FNT13X25}
with the middle-sized font (FNT9X17) being the default.
36.59.36 Imagen
The imagen terminal driver supports Imagen laser printers. It is capable of placing multiple graphs on
a single page.
Syntax:
set terminal imagen {} {portrait | landscape}
{[,]}
where fontsize defaults to 12 points and the layout defaults to landscape. and are
the number of graphs in the horizontal and vertical directions; these default to unity.
Example:
set terminal imagen portrait [2,3]
puts six graphs on the page in three rows of two in portrait orientation.
