Hi,
I was quite happy with this figure generated by gnuplot:
http://www.mfn.unipmn.it/~mex/fig1.eps

but I would put the title below each figure. In a old post, it was
suggested to use "set label". I did it, but I obtain this figure:

http://www.mfn.unipmn.it/~mex/fig2.eps
(I only put to labels instead of the 4 labels required)

The perl source code used to generate those figures are here:
http://www.mfn.unipmn.it/~mex/drawMp.pl

Now, without considering the fact that I have to use "set bmargin" in
order to have space for the labels, as you can see the style/size of
the label looks very different. They seem in bold style.

So, two questions:
1) how can I fix it?
2) for gnuplot developers, could you guys consider a new feature like
"set title below 'my title' ", please?

Thanks in advatage!

In article <28db905b-9bb7-4f21...@k13g2000hse.googlegroups.com>,

I think all you need to do is replace your original
set title "Whatever"
commands with
set xlabel "Whatever"
or maybe
set xlabel "\nWhatever"

The rest of the page layout should take care of itself automatically.
You may or may not want to adjust the spacing further with "set bmargin"
or by adding an explicit vertical offset to the xlabel command.
