Hi,
| With regard to the above: I haven't used 3.6-beta, but am a long-time user
| of gnuplot-3.5. In 3.5, the "set size <anything>" command sets the size of
| the total /plotting/ area, including tic-labels, axis labels, plot title,
| etc. The /graph/ itself (i.e. the axes and the plotted points) fits into
| this according to the space taken up by the "furniture". Therefore it is
| not possible to directly control the size of the /graph/, and you can only
| get a 1:1 aspect ratio for the /axes/ by experiment. Also, a size setting
| that gives 1:1 on a screen display may well give non-1:1 when printed on
| paper. I know there were intentions to address these and other questions
| during the development of 3.6, but can't answer for where they're at.
The WhatsNews of gnuplot pre3.6-pl315 says:
in release 293/294
set size square has been generalised to
set size { square | ratio <r> | noratio }
where <r> is an aspect ratio of height / width
in release 162/164
set size [{no}square] x,y - tries to plot with aspect ratio 1
- seems to work great for postscript
- please check with your favourite driver
- uses relative sizes of tics to determine required size.
So it seems that they try, but not completely succedd,
Joao
