Hello,

I have recently upgraded to gnuplot 4.6.x (On SUSE 12.3) and I have noticed that now my charts look different than they did before using 4.4.3 (UBUNTU).

The code in question is as follows:

# create a 3D offset on each chart
#
# object 1 set the background colour of the entire image
set object  1 rectangle from screen 0,0 to screen 1.05,1.05 behind fc rgb "#e5e5e5" fillstyle solid noborder
#
# object 2 rectangle but it does'nt show up
set object  2 rectangle from graph  0,0 to graph  1.05,1.05 behind  fc rgb "#000000"  fillstyle transparent border
#
# object 3 changes the color of the graph area
set object  3 rectangle from graph  0,0 to graph  1.05,1.05 behind  fc rgb "#fffff0"  fillstyle transparent border
# end 3D offset
#

everything else works as expected, the lines above created a 3D offset for the chart area... now the black offset doesn't show up, even though it's offset.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Dom

I'm not following you, sorry.
What's a "3D offset"?  
Is this a 2D plot ("plot" command) or a 3D plot ("splot" command)?

Those commands do nothing obvious other than set a backgound color
when tested here using either 4.4.3, 4.6.4, or current development cvs.
What terminal type are you using?

Anyhow, taking the object commands one by one...

1) The first rectangle should fill the screen with grey, although some
terminal types will have problems because you try to draw off the
edge of the screen (screen coordinate > 1).  In version 4.4 this can
cause segfaults.  In version 4.6 coordinates are clipped to the actual
screen, so it should be harmless though not necessary.
Most terminal types now allow a simpler way to set a background, e.g.

   set term wxt background rgb '#e5e5e5'


2) "fillstyle transparent border" is not valid syntax in any
version of gnuplot.  Do you mean "fillstyle transparent solid <frac>"
for some non-zero value of <frac>?

3) same as above - not legal syntax in any version of gnuplot.
Since rectangles 2 and 3  have identical coordinates and are both "behind",
you can only ever see one rectangle.  Typo in coordinates?

what offset?
Was there supposed to be a "set offset" command?
Maybe you are trying for something like the 2nd example plot in 

   http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~zov1/gnuplot/html/gallery.html

That site has example code that might help.

Ethan, thanks for the prompt reply.

it is a 2D plot, if you look at the charts on this page you can see what I mean by the 3D offset... http://www.storagehealthcheck.com/uspv_array_perf_feds.html

The code snippet that produced that chart is as follows:


/usr/local/bin/gnuplot << CMDS
#
reset
# create a 3D offset on each chart
set object  1 rect from screen 0,0 to screen 1.05,1.05 behind fc rgb "#e5e5e5" fillstyle solid noborder
set object  2 rect from graph  0.01,-0.01 to graph  1.01,0.99 behind  fc rgb "#333333"  fillstyle transparent noborder
set object  3 rect from graph  0,0 to graph  1,1 behind  fc rgb "#fffff0"  fillstyle transparent noborder
# end 3D offset
#
#
set label 1 at 0, 95
set label 1 "$note1" font "Arial,8" tc lt 3
#
set label 2 "Source: ${BASE_FILE}" at screen 0.7,0.015 front font "Arial,8" tc lt -1
#
set title "$MODEL (#$SERIAL) FC Microprocessor MAX Utilization (CHP)" font "Arial,12" tc lt 1
set terminal png small size $W,$H
set output "./$SERIAL/$PNG_PATH/0014_FED_MP_MAXUtil.png"
set ylabel "%Utilization" font 'Arial,8' tc rgbcolor "red" rotate by 90
set xlabel "CHIP" font 'Arial,8' tc rgbcolor "red" rotate by 90

set yrange [0:100]
set key off # Unless you really want a key
set grid back
set boxwidth 0.9 absolute
set style fill solid 1.00 border 3
set style histogram clustered gap 5 title offset character 0, 0, 0
set datafile missing '-'
set style data histograms
set xtics nomirror rotate font "Arial,8" tc rgbcolor "blue"
set ytics nomirror font "Arial,8" tc rgbcolor "blue"
set timestamp
plot'./$SERIAL/temp/datautil.dat' using 2:xtic(1) with boxes lt 3 lw 1, \
     70 lt 1
CMDS

Thanks,
Dom

I stick by the statement that the fillstyle specifier is not valid
syntax for any version of gnuplot.  Here's what happens in 4.4.3:

gnuplot> set object  3 rect fc rgb "#fffff0" fillstyle transparent noborder
gnuplot> show object 3
        object  3 rect from 0, 0, 0 to 0, 0, 0
        object  3 back lw 1.0 fc  rgb "#fffff0"  fillstyle   solid 1.00 noborder

Notice that the keyword "transparent" has been ignored since it
didn't have anything to modify, so it picks up the actual
fillstyle from whatever you have set as a default.


But I guess what you are noticing is that in 4.6 coordinates given
in screen space are clipped to the screen, while coordinates given 
in graph space are clipped to the graph.  In both cases it is not
useful to specify a coordinate outside the range [0:1].

Here's one way you could do it to avoid clipping to the graph:

  M = 0.1
  delta = 0.01
  set bmargin at screen M
  set tmargin at screen 1-M
  set lmargin at screen M
  set rmargin at screen 1-M

  set obj 2 rect behind from screen M,M to screen 1-M, 1-M
  set obj 2 fc rgb "white" fillstyle solid noborder

  set obj 1 rect behind from screen M+delta, M-delta to screen 1-M+delta, 1-M-delta 
  set obj 1 fc rgb "black" fillstyle solid noborder

  plot ... whatever

Hi Ethan,

your suggested code works great for single plots, thank you very much for that. But now I am struggling to do the same for each plot in a multiplot.I know that the code used to generate multiplots no longer take effect once you change the margins, I haven't been able to get it just right. 

Any suggestions? 

thanks in advance.
Dom

Hmmm.  Version 4.6.x you say?
How about creating using a heavy border for the backing rectangle rather
than relying on a coordinate offset?  The border line won't get clipped, so...



set term pdfcairo background rgb "olive"
set output "shadows.pdf"

set object 1 rectangle from graph 0,0 to graph 1,1 back 
set object 1 fs solid fc rgb "white"
set object 2 rectangle from graph 0.05,0.0 to graph 1.0,0.95 behind 
set object 2 fs empty border -1 lw 15

set multiplot layout 2,2

plot sin(x)
plot cos(x)
plot sinc(x)
plot erf(x)

unset multi

Hi,

The example as given works flawlessly, but when I use it for my charts, where I change various labels etc... it fails as:

gnuplot> set multiplot 2,1
                       ^
         line 0: only valid as part of an auto-layout command

You are missing the "layout" keyword.
