resize key font using epslatex terminal

[dai_bach]

Hi,

I'm looking to use a smaller font size in the legend/key than the rest
of my figure. I've seen a similar thread on how to do this for the
postscript enhanced terminals (see below), but I can't figure out how
to do the same using epslatex.

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/
browse_thread/thread/56baf88d32130144/07962ac42c44baea?pli=1>

Should I be trying to edit the .tex output rather than the gnuplot
input?

Regards,
Dai

You can use any LaTeX commands inside the labels:

set terminal epslatex standalone
set output 'footnotesize.tex'
plot sin(x) t '\footnotesize $\sin(x)$'

Unfortunately it is not possible to use the
set key font "..."
command with the epslatex terminal to change the font of all legend labels.

Hi, I'm Trying to do something similar to what dai_bach wanted. In may case I just want to resize the tics without resizing key or title font. Do you know how can I get this?
