- Summary: works in 0, not 1.
- Keywords: scaling size
-
- First off, I would like to thank the developers of this way cool
- program, particularly Russell Lang who wrote the postscript driver
- which I have just used to make an ms. for publication :-)
-
- I found some odd behavior wrt scaling in V 3.0 patchlevel 1
- that *is* *not* found in patchlevel 0. In patchlevel 0, when
- I do this:
-
- set terminal postscript portrait monochrome "Helvetica-Bold" 24
- set size 0.3,0.36
-
- I get a nice little graph with properly shrunken letters
- suitable for making a multipanel figure. But when I do it
- in V3.0 patchlevel 1, I get a mess with the letters at normal
- 24 pt size.
-
- Maybe this is fixed in V3,2
-
- If not, and there is someone who has built up a head of steam wrt
- this program maybe that individual could fix it. Alternatively, since
- getting this to work is of some importance to me, maybe *I* could
- fix it. *However*, although I write my own scientific code, I don't
- have any experience coding patches for programs used by a lot of people,
- and I will need some email advice.
-
- Thanks!!!!

- PS I have two other questions, but I think they belong under another
- subject heading.
