#947 — Question about tikz terminal

Dear all,
I am able to create an output via tikz terminal using
set term tikz size 5in,3in standalone header 
"\\usepackage{MyGnuplotLaTeX}" font "\\rmfamily,12"

I obtain a .tex-file. Although this tex-file contains the line 
\begin{document}, it has no \end{document} which results in a problem if 
my gnuplot script has the following lines:


system(sprintf('pdflatex %s%s', basename, end3))

basename=filename
end3=.tex

The terminal is not able to finish pdflatex as it asks for an \end. At 
least I assume the missing \end{document} is the reason for this.
Terminal says: (Please type a command or say `\end')
If I type into the terminal \end{document}, the latex run finsihes.

How can this be fixed, please?

Thank you.
Gudrun

There is another mystery I am not able to solve.
The gnuplot manual says when using terminal lua. Via font the size can 
be changed. Even if I use
set term tikz size 5in,3in standalone header 
"\\usepackage{MyGnuplotLaTeX}" font "\rmfamily,12pt"

the final tex-file still has font size 10pt after documentclass rather 
12pt. What do I wrong, please?

You must escape the backslash of \rmfamily:

font "\\rmfamily,12pt"

but \rmfamily is the default so it is enough to use

font ",12pt"

I don't know where this comes from, but in the pdf file the 12pt font is 
used correctly (at least with the CVS version). Compare the following 
scripts:

set term tikz size 5in,3in standalone font ",12pt"
set output 'mytest-12pt.tex'
plot sin(x)

and

set term tikz size 5in,3in standalone
set output 'mytest.tex'
plot sin(x)

Thank you, I understand now how to use this command.

I just produced those two test .tex-files.
Both (!) start with \documentclass[10pt]{article} in the first line, but 
there is a difference later.

\tikzset{every node/.append 
style={font={\fontsize{12pt}{14.4pt}\selectfont}}} for the 12pt version, 
and

the same entry missing for the second example. So maybe the font size 
adjustment happens in tikzset, but I am not an LaTeX expert.

Type a

set output

before the pdflatex compilation line:

set term tikz
...
set output
system(sprintf('pdflatex %s%s', basename, end3))

Dear Christoph,
thank you.

I used the lines:

set term tikz size 407.65pt,251.95pt standalone header 
"\\usepackage{MyGnuplotLaTeX}" font "\\rmfamily,12pt"

set output filepath.basename.end3  #file export

replot  #produce the image

set output  #and with this second output it works when later using

system(sprintf('pdflatex %s%s', basename, end3)) #for compilation

Why do I have to use the second set output, why is the first one not 
sufficient, please? Because I could dump more than one graphic into the 
LaTeX output files?

Christoph, thank you very much for your help. Much appreciated.

Kind regards
Gudrun
