#1620 — Thin space between value and unit in key with eps enhanced terminal

Hi,

for a report I'm trying to generate a plot with gnuplot. I'd like to
have a thin space(*) between the value and the unit in the legend of the
plot, which is done in LaTex by "\,". Unfortunately, I cant manage
this in gnuplot. Here comes a minimal example:

set terminal postscript eps enhanced 28 rounded
set encoding utf8
set output 'out.eps'
plot 1/(x+5) ti 'He, 1 keV/µm',\
     1/(x+5)**2 ti 'Li, 5 keV/µm'
set output
unset output

What I already tried was to copy&paste a thin space out of a latex pdf
between the numbers and the units, generated by "\,". But this changes
literally nothing in the resulting eps file. I also could not found any
hints in the Internet.

Can somebody give me a clue how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Uwe

with the epscairo terminal, you can just type the thin space:

set terminal epscairo enhanced font ",14"
set encoding utf8
set output 'out.eps'
plot 1/(x+5) ti 'He, 1 keV/µm',\
      1/(x+5)**2 ti 'He, 1 keV/µm'
set output

This example works for me. The second title contains a thin space, which 
you maybe don't see if you email reader uses a monospaced font.

Of course, you could also use the epslatex terminal:

set terminal epslatex standalone header '\usepackage{textcomp}'
set output 'out.tex
plot 1/(x+5) ti 'He, 1 keV/\textmu m',\
      1/(x+5)**2 ti 'He, 1\,keV/\textmu m'
set output
system('latex out.tex && dvips out.dvi && ps2eps -f -B out.ps')


set terminal epslatex standalone header 
'\usepackage[per-mode=symbol]{siunitx}'
set output 'out.tex'
plot 1/(x+5) ti 'He, \SI{1}{\keV\per\um}',\
1/(x+5)**2 ti 'Li, \SI{5}{\keV\per\um}'
set output
system('latex out.tex && dvips out.dvi && ps2eps -f -B out.ps')

Hi Christoph,

Thank you! This helped me allot. I'll take the version with
textcomp-Package. :-)

Ciao,
Uwe
