77 TERMINAL <strong>gnuplot</strong> 4.3 161<br />
Example:<br />
set terminal cgm ’Old English’<br />
set terminal cgm ’Tengwar’<br />
set terminal cgm ’Arabic’<br />
set output ’myfile.cgm’<br />
plot ...<br />
set output<br />
You cannot introduce a new font in a set label command.<br />
77.9.2 Fontsize<br />
Fonts are scaled assuming the page is 6 inches wide. If the size command is used to change the aspect<br />
ratio of the page or the CGM file is converted to a different width, the resulting font sizes will be scaled<br />
up or down accordingly. To change the assumed width, use the width option.<br />
77.9.3 Linewidth<br />
The linewidth option sets the width of lines in pt. The default width is 1 pt. Scaling is affected by the<br />
actual width of the page, as discussed under the fontsize and width options.<br />
77.9.4 Rotate<br />
The norotate option may be used to disable text rotation. For example, the CGM input filter for Word<br />
for Windows 6.0c can accept rotated text, but the DRAW editor within Word cannot. If you edit a<br />
graph (for example, to label a curve), all rotated text is restored to horizontal. The Y axis label will then<br />
extend beyond the clip boundary. With norotate, the Y axis label starts in a less attractive location,<br />
but the page can be edited without damage. The rotate option confirms the default behavior.<br />
77.9.5 Solid<br />
The solid option may be used to disable dashed line styles in the plots. This is useful when color is<br />
enabled and the dashing of the lines detracts from the appearance of the plot. The dashed option<br />
confirms the default behavior, which gives a different dash pattern to each curve.<br />
77.9.6 Size<br />
Default size of a CGM plot is 32599 units wide and 23457 units high for landscape, or 23457 units wide<br />
by 32599 units high for portrait.<br />
77.9.7 Width<br />
All distances in the CGM file are in abstract units. The application that reads the file determines the<br />
size of the final plot. By default, the width of the final plot is assumed to be 6 inches (15.24 cm). This<br />
distance is used to calculate the correct font size, and may be changed with the width option. The<br />
keyword should be followed by the width in points. (Here, a point is 1/72 inch, as in PostScript. This<br />
unit is known as a "big point" in TeX.) Gnuplot expressions can be used to convert from other units.<br />
Example:<br />
set terminal cgm width 432<br />
set terminal cgm width 6*72<br />
set terminal cgm width 10/2.54*72<br />
# default<br />
# same as above<br />
# 10 cm wide
