I wonder if you have more colors that you have picked for niceness?

Basically, when using pdfcairo, the font sizes are halved, i.e. fontscale = 0.5 by default. If you are making a publication quality figure and require the exact figures width/height and font sizes, then this can be quite a bugger!<br /><br />Example of it's use in your example: "set terminal pdfcairo font "Gill Sans,9" linewidth 4 rounded fontscale 1.0"lpgaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521988432112506575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216930037889709643.post-58642450068962183962012-06-03T11:11:28.403-07:002012-06-03T11:11:28.403-07:00From the bottom of my thesis, thank you!From the bottom of my thesis, thank you!Anders Dhttp://avaaz.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216930037889709643.post-28616846310223458542012-05-08T09:05:25.530-07:002012-05-08T09:05:25.530-07:00Interesting.

Thanks for demonstrating some techniques for improvement. Did you know that the use of JPEG format for computer generated images is also sub-optimal, and a lossless bitmap format will result in better image quality in your blog?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885011168063810253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216930037889709643.post-24954870221681358192011-12-18T21:57:40.875-08:002011-12-18T21:57:40.875-08:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177925339061636642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216930037889709643.post-61478485888788157382011-12-18T14:36:41.427-08:002011-12-18T14:36:41.427-08:00Hey Brighten, just finished borrowing your gnuplot...Hey Brighten, just finished borrowing your gnuplot script when I noticed it was you that had written this up...thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685513362086093776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216930037889709643.post-79914430623309807662011-11-07T16:11:39.525-08:002011-11-07T16:11:39.525-08:00drezha: Post here if you figure it out...
