Started, typically resulting in a new subpath being started in the plot A line may also be empty or, if it starts Line of the〈filename〉should contain one line starting with two numbers, By the way, this output changes with the scale factor.Ģ2.4 Plotting Points Read From an External FileĬurrently, the only file format that TikZ allows is the following: Each See postscript fontfile for more detailed description and examples.According to the current manual TikZ PGF Packages Manual 3.1.4 with status from JTikZ simply cannot read 3D GNUPLOT table files and that explains why you get a very strange output. Note that some font files require specific licensing if they are to be embedded in this way. This requires that the a suitable font description file is available on your system. However, it is possible to embed a specific font in the output file so that all printers will be able to use it. On the other hand set term postscript eps font "Garamond-Premier-Pro-Italic" will produce an output file that contains valid PostScript, but since it refers to a specialized font, only some printers or viewers will be able to display the specific font that was requested. Thus set term postscript eps font "Times-Roman,12" will produce output that is suitable for all printers and viewers. Gnuplot does not know or care about this the output *.ps or *.eps files that it creates will simply refer to whatever font names you request. It is likely that many additional fonts are also available, but the specific set depends on your system or printer configuration. 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 (also encapsulated postscript *.eps) PostScript font handling is done by the printer or viewing program. 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. Set term png font "/usr/local/fonts/pfa/Helvetica.pfa" 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/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. 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" Gd (png, gif, jpeg, sixel terminals) Font 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. Cairo (pdfcairo, pngcairo, epscairo, wxt terminals) These terminals find and access fonts using the external fontconfig tool set. ![]() 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. Fonts Gnuplot does not provide any fonts of its own. ![]()
