  • Why does it look like this?

    From au76666@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 5 12:21:28 2019
    I have this little script for plotting a data file with
    two different y-ranges:

    gnuplot << eoi
    set term postscript enh eps 24
    set output 'Ibandcompare.eps'
    set xlabel 'log10 T'
    set ylabel "IBAND.f90 - IBAND.cpp"
    set xrange [-40:320]
    plot 'ibandcompare.dat' w l lt 1
    set yrange [-0.001:0.001]
    replot
    quit
    eoi

    The result can be seen here: http://www.dieterbritz.dk/Ibandcompare.pdf

    Why is the second plot shifted upward and to the right, so that
    parts of it are out of the picture? How do I prevent that?

    Don't know. This strange and fishy indeed.

    Can you move it to where it should be with set origin and set size?

    I have only ever had to use set origin in connection with
    multiplot (the old way, not using layout). But I'll try.

    Sorry, this is not reproducible. With Version 5.2 patchlevel 7 (WIN)
    both plots are well centred. Can it be a problem from your "eps-Viewer"?

    Ah, so I might have an older version. It says
    Version 5.0 patchlevel 3 last modified 2016-02-21

    So I will have to find out how to upgrade, without
    (hopefully) uninstalling it and re-installing it.

    I have done a test on a Linux-System with Version 5.0 patchlevel 6. Same result, both plots (.eps) are well centred. Displayed with evince,
    okular and ghostview.

    I run Ubuntu 16.04. Can I use apt-get to upgrade just gnuplot?
    Or what is the best way to do this? I regularly use apt-get to
    update & upgrade, but that has apparently not upgraded gnuplot.
