#GNUPLOT FONTS HOW TO#
Gnuplot simply refers to the font by name in the output file, and assumes that the printer or viewing program will know how to find or approximate a font by that name.Īll PostScript printers or viewers should know about the standard set of Adobe fonts Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier, and Symbol. Gnuplot can create valid PostScript or encapsulated PostScript (*.eps) even if no fonts at all are installed on your computer. PostScript font handling is done by the printer or viewing program. Postscript (also encapsulated postscript *.eps) If no specific font is requested in the "set term" command, gnuplot checks the environmental variable GNUPLOT_DEFAULT_GDFONT to see if there is a preferred default font. To request a default font size at the same time: set term png font "arial,11"īoth TrueType and Adobe Type 1 fonts are fully scalable and rotatable. Set term png font "/usr/local/fonts/pfa/Helvetica.pfa" Set term png font "/usr/local/fonts/ttf/arial.ttf" For example, if GDFONTPATH contains /usr/local/fonts/ttf:/usr/local/fonts/pfa then the following pairs of commands are equivalent set term png font "arial" That is, 'set term png font "Face"' will look for a font file named either /Face.ttf or /Face.pfa.
#GNUPLOT FONTS FULL#
is either the full pathname to the font file, or the first part of a filename in one of the directories listed in the GDFONTPATH environmental variable. You must give the name of the font file, not the name of the font inside it, in the form " ". On most systems libgd also provides access to Adobe Type 1 fonts (*.pfa) and TrueType fonts (*.ttf). Use one of these keywords instead of the font keyword. These are tiny (5x8 pixels), small (6x12 pixels), medium, (7x13 Bold), large (8x16) or giant (9x15 pixels). Five basic fonts are provided directly by libgd. Set term pdfcairo font "Times-New-Roman,12"įont handling for the png, gif, jpeg, and sixelgd terminals is done by the library libgd. The following will probably all work: set term pdfcairo font "sans,12" It is usually sufficient in gnuplot to request a font by a generic name and size, letting fontconfig substitute a similar font if necessary. These terminals find and access fonts using the external fontconfig tool set.
Cairo (pdfcairo, pngcairo, epscairo, wxt terminals) the Adobe Symbol font, the preferred method is now to specify the unicode entry point for the desired symbols using their UTF-8 encoding. For information on font use by other individual terminals, see the documentation for that terminal.Īlthough it is possible to include non-alphabetic symbols by temporarily switching to a special font, e.g. Brief documentation of font mechanisms that apply to more than one terminal type is given here. It relies on external font handling, the details of which unfortunately vary from one terminal type to another.
#GNUPLOT FONTS MANUAL#
See the section "Reading coordinates from tables" of the pgfplots manual for more information.Gnuplot does not provide any fonts of its own.
#GNUPLOT FONTS CODE#
Use pgfplots to write LaTeX code in main.Run experiments using program of choice, output text file.The process which I use to generate graphs is the following: See example below where the figure naturally fills up the column width of the document and uses the same font size. What you require can be easily accomplished using pgfplots, which is a LaTeX package so that all the code for drawing graphics can be included into your.
The reason is that depending on the dimensions and font size of the final LaTeX document, you would need to calculate manually the dimensions and the font size of the figures. I don't think that it would be possible to do this easily using the current set of tools ( gnuplot and epslatex).
