77 TERMINAL gnuplot 4.3 167
Use Helvetica, boldface, italics:
set terminal epslatex ’phv,bx,it’
Continue to use the surrounding font in slanted shape:
set terminal epslatex ’,,sl’
Use small capitals:
set terminal epslatex ’,,sc’
By this method, only text fonts are changed. If you also want to change the math fonts you have to use
the "gnuplot.cfg" file or the header option, described below.
In standalone mode, the font size is taken from the given font size in the set terminal command. To
be able to use a specified font size, a file "size.clo" has to reside in the LaTeX search path. By
default, 10pt, 11pt, and 12pt are supported. If the package "extsizes" is installed, 8pt, 9pt, 14pt, 17pt,
and 20pt are added.
The header option takes a string as argument. This string is written into the generated LaTeX file.
If using the standalone mode, it is written into the preamble, directly before the \begin{document}
command. In the input mode, it is placed directly after the \begingroup command to ensure that all
settings are local to the plot.
Examples:
Use T1 fontencoding, change the text and math font to Times-Roman as well as the sans-serif font to
Helvetica:
set terminal epslatex standalone header \
"\\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\n\\usepackage{mathptmx}\n\\usepackage{helvet}"
Use a boldface font in the plot, not influencing the text outside the plot:
set terminal epslatex input header "\\bfseries"
If the file "gnuplot.cfg" is found by LaTeX it is input in the preamble the LaTeX document, when using
standalone mode. It can be used for further settings, e.g., changing the document font to Times-Roman,
Helvetica, and Courier, including math fonts (handled by "mathptmx.sty"):
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
The file "gnuplot.cfg" is loaded before the header information given by the header command. Thus,
you can use header to overwrite some of settings performed using "gnuplot.cfg"
77.20 Epson-180dpi
This driver supports a family of Epson printers and derivatives.
epson-180dpi and epson-60dpi are drivers for Epson LQ-style 24-pin printers with resolutions of 180
and 60 dots per inch, respectively.
epson-lx800 is a generic 9-pin driver appropriate for printers like the Epson LX-800, the Star NL-10
and NX-1000, the PROPRINTER, and so forth.
nec-cp6 is generic 24-pin driver that can be used for printers like the NEC CP6 and the Epson LQ-800.
The okidata driver supports the 9-pin OKIDATA 320/321 Standard printers.
The starc driver is for the Star Color Printer.
The tandy-60dpi driver is for the Tandy DMP-130 series of 9-pin, 60-dpi printers.
Only nec-cp6 has any options.
Syntax:
set terminal nec-cp6 {monochrome | colour | draft}
which defaults to monochrome.
With each of these drivers, a binary copy is required on a PC to print. Do not use print — use instead
copy file /b lpt1:.
