Syntax:
set terminal tgif {<mode>} {<[x,y]>} {<dashed>} \ {"<fontname>"} {<fontsize>}
where <mode> is portrait or landscape, <[x,y]> specifies the number of plots in the x and y directions on the page, <dashed> is either solid or dashed, ''<fontname>'' is the name of a valid PostScript font, and <fontsize> specifies the size of the PostScript font. Defaults are portrait, [1,1], dashed, ``Helvetica'', and 18.
The solid option is usually prefered if lines are colored, as they often are in the editor. Hardcopy will be black-and-white, so dashed should be chosen for that.
Multiplot is implemented in two different manners.
The first multiplot implementation is the standard gnuplot multiplot feature:
set term tgif set output "file.obj" set multiplot set origin x01,y01 set size xs,ys plot ... ... set origin x02,y02 plot ... set nomultiplot
See set multiplot for further information.
The second version is the [x,y] option for the driver itself. The advantage of this implementation is that everything is scaled and placed automatically without the need for setting origins and sizes; the plots keep their natural x/y proportions of 3/2 (or whatever is fixed by set size).
If both multiplot methods are selected, the standard method is chosen and a warning message appears.
Examples of single plots (or standard multiplot):
set term tgif # -> portrait set term tgif "Times-Roman" 24 # -> Times-Roman font of size 24 set term tgif landscape # -> landscape set term tgif landscape solid # -> landscape and solid lines
Examples using the built-in multiplot mechanism:
set term tgif portrait [2,4] # -> 2 plots in x and 4 in y-direction set term tgif [1,2] # -> 1 plot in x and 2 in y-direction set term tgif landscape [3,3] # -> landscape, with 3 plots in both # x- and y-directions
