by Hi!
I ran across an oddity when I wanted to combine some very similar plots on one
page. The issue is that the size of a plot within the bracket set by
'set multiplot' and 'set nomultiplot' depends on the position of the plot
as controlled by 'set origin'. I have found this behavior both for the
x11 and the postscript terminal in eps mode. I did not check other
terminal types.
The following simplified script illustrates the problem.
I use identical plot commands and sizes for 4 plots and I'd expect these
plots to all have the same size. However, in the example, the two plots on
the left hand side differ in size. The difference vanishes, when
the y position of the plot exceeds 1/2. Is there an explanation for
this interaction between 'set origin' and 'set size' or is this a bug?
Whatever the answer: I like gnuplot a lot and couldn't work without it!
Thanks -
Stefan.
