168 gnuplot 4.3 77 TERMINAL
77.21 Excl
The excl terminal driver supports Talaris printers such as the EXCL Laser printer and the 1590. It has
no options.
77.22 Fig
The fig terminal device generates output in the Fig graphics language.
Syntax:
set terminal fig {monochrome | color}
{landscape | portrait}
{small | big | size }
{metric | inches}
{pointsmax }
{solid | dashed}
{fontsize }
{textnormal | {textspecial texthidden textrigid}}
{{thickness|linewidth} }
{depth }
{version }
monochrome and color determine whether the picture is black-and-white or color. small and big
produce a 5x3 or 8x5 inch graph in the default landscape mode and 3x5 or 5x8 inches in portrait mode.
size sets (overrides) the size of the drawing area to * in units of inches or centimeters
depending on the inches or metric setting in effect. The latter settings is also used as default units for
editing with "xfig".
pointsmax sets the maximum number of points per polyline.
solid inhibits automatic usage of dashed lines when solid linestyles are used up, which otherwise occurs.
fontsize sets the size of the text font to points. textnormal resets the text flags and selects
postscript fonts, textspecial sets the text flags for LaTeX specials, texthidden sets the hidden flag
and textrigid the rigid flag.
depth sets the default depth layer for all lines and text. The default depth is 10 to leave room for
adding material with "xfig" on top of the plot.
version sets the format version of the generated fig output. Currently only versions 3.1 and 3.2 are
supported.
thickness sets the default line thickness, which is 1 if not specified. Overriding the thickness can
be achieved by adding a multiple of 100 to the linetype value for a plot command. In a similar
way the depth of plot elements (with respect to the default depth) can be controlled by adding a
multiple of 1000 to . The depth is then + /1000 and the thickness
is (%1000)/100 or, if that is zero, the default line thickness. linewidth is a synonym for
thickness.
Additional point-plot symbols are also available with the fig driver. The symbols can be used through
pointtype values % 100 above 50, with different fill intensities controlled by % 5 and
outlines in black (for % 10 < 5) or in the current color. Available symbols are
50 - 59: circles
60 - 69: squares
70 - 79: diamonds
80 - 89: upwards triangles
90 - 99: downwards triangles
The size of these symbols is linked to the font size. The depth of symbols is by default one less than
the depth for lines to achieve nice error bars. If is above 1000, the depth is +
/1000-1. If %1000 is above 100, the fill color is (%1000)/100-1.
