John & Eric, Another approach, which I use and which doesn't require using the development version of gnuplot for the tikz support, is to generate encapsulated postscript files: set terminal postscript eps enhanced 20 set output "graph.eps" for instance. Then, if I need bitmap images, I use "convert" from ImageMagick to create these from the EPS files with the required density (depending on intended use, whether screen display or printing), as in convert -quality 95 -density 300 graph.eps graph.png With EPS, you can get very nice looking text, especially with the "enhanced" gnuplot set terminal option and the result is size independent. --Multipart_Sat_Jun_12_11:17:33_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D --Multipart_Sat_Jun_12_11:17:33_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
