160 <strong>gnuplot</strong> 4.3 77 TERMINAL 77.9.1 Font The first part of a Computer Graphics Metafile, the metafile description, includes a font table. In the picture body, a font is designated by an index into this table. By default, this terminal generates a table with the following 35 fonts, plus six more with italic replaced by oblique, or vice-versa (since at least the Microsoft Office and Corel Draw CGM import filters treat italic and oblique as equivalent): CGM fonts Helvetica Helvetica Bold Helvetica Oblique Helvetica Bold Oblique Times Roman Times Bold Times Italic Times Bold Italic Courier Courier Bold Courier Oblique Courier Bold Oblique Symbol Hershey/Cartographic Roman Hershey/Cartographic Greek Hershey/Simplex Roman Hershey/Simplex Greek Hershey/Simplex Script Hershey/Complex Roman Hershey/Complex Greek Hershey/Complex Script Hershey/Complex Italic Hershey/Complex Cyrillic Hershey/Duplex Roman Hershey/Triplex Roman Hershey/Triplex Italic Hershey/Gothic German Hershey/Gothic English Hershey/Gothic Italian Hershey/Symbol Set 1 Hershey/Symbol Set 2 Hershey/Symbol Math ZapfDingbats Script 15 The first thirteen of these fonts are required for WebCGM. The Microsoft Office CGM import filter implements the 13 standard fonts listed above, and also ’ZapfDingbats’ and ’Script’. However, the script font may only be accessed under the name ’15’. For more on Microsoft import filter font substitutions, check its help file which you may find here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Cgmimp32.hlp and/or its configuration file, which you may find here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt\Cgmimp32.cfg In the set term command, you may specify a font name which does not appear in the default font table. In that case, a new font table is constructed with the specified font as its first entry. You must ensure that the spelling, capitalization, and spacing of the name are appropriate for the application that will read the CGM file. (Gnuplot and any MIL-D-28003A compliant application ignore case in font names.) If you need to add several new fonts, use several set term commands.
77 TERMINAL <strong>gnuplot</strong> 4.3 161 Example: set terminal cgm ’Old English’ set terminal cgm ’Tengwar’ set terminal cgm ’Arabic’ set output ’myfile.cgm’ plot ... set output You cannot introduce a new font in a set label command. 77.9.2 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. 77.9.3 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. 77.9.4 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. 77.9.5 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. 77.9.6 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. 77.9.7 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
