The visual size is determined in the end by the page size of the document it is embedded in. I appreciate your work.įor vector-based terminals, including svg, the scale is essentially arbitrary. The more important it is to have one reliable sort of vector graphics output that can be converted to any kind of graphics you want.
I personally would prefer all terminal types to produce more ore less the same output, depending of the capability of the terminal. My platform is a home-grown Linux based on gnome 3. I have tested this with gnuplot-5.0.7, gnuplot 5.2.2, and today's gnuplot-main from sourceforge. And what's more important, the graph geometry (label distance etc.), which is still based on a font size in points, is wrong. In this case, the documentation would be wrong. SVG terminal size ist interpreted in native units as well, after all. That's remarkably smaller than 1pt (1/72 inch). In the case of Inkscape, this would be 1/96 inch. With gnuplot 5, the unit ist missing, so it's just a "font-family=Arial font-size=20.00".īy the SVG interpeter, the font size thus is given in native SVG units. The major difference is: with gnuplot 4, a "set terminal svg font 'Arial,20'" uset to be to translated to a "font-family:Arial font-size:20.00pt " in SVG output. Maybe I am doing something completely wrong? Anyway.įor me, SVG output on gnuplot5 is incompatible to gnuplot 4. First of all, I wonder why no one has brought this subject up yet.
