Syntax:
set size {<xscale>,<yscale>} show size
The <xscale> and <yscale> values are the scaling factors for the size. The defaults (1,1) are selected if the scaling factors are omitted.
Examples:
To set the size to normal size use:
set sizeTo make the plot half size use:
set size 0.5,0.5To make a landscape plot have a 1:1 aspect ratio in polar mode use:
set size 0.721,1.0To show the size use:
show size
For the LaTeX and Fig terminals the default size (scale factor 1,1) is 5 inches wide by 3 inches high. The big Fig terminal (bfig) is 7 inches wide by 5 inches high. The postscript default is landscape mode 10 inches wide and 7 inches high. Note that the size of the plot includes the space used by the labels; the plotting area itself is smaller.
