<H2><A ID="SECTION00021000000000000000"> Summary — Use with L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X</A> </H2> In summary, to use the L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X facilities of GNUPLOT, the first command to GNUPLOT should be <BLOCKQUOTE> <TT>set terminal latex </TT></BLOCKQUOTE>and the output of GNUPLOT should be directed to a file, for example, <PRE> set output "plot.tex" </PRE> This may be anything you like but it should have a <TT>.tex</TT> extension, of course. Then the size of the plot should be given. For example, the command <PRE> set size 1,2 </PRE> tells GNUPLOT to use a 5 inch wide by 6 inch high box for the plot. The numbers given are <EM>scale factors</EM>, not the actual size. The default is 5 inches by 3 inches. This is the size of the complete plot, including all labels.
<P> When finished, the file will contain all of the plots you have specified (you probably only want one plot per file). This file can then be used in a L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X document, <EM>e.g.</EM>,
<P>
<PRE>
This puts the plot into a figure.
<P> You will also want to read about the following commands: <TT>set title, set xlabel, set ylabel, set key, set label, set xtics, set ytics</TT>, and <TT>set clip</TT>. These are all described in the regular GNUPLOT manual.
