Dear all,

I don't understand how to achieve $\pm$ in a title or label? $\pm$ is 
LaTeX-Code for +-. I use set terminal postscript as output. Is LaTeX 
$\pm$ possible somehow for this terminal, please?

Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards
Gudrun

You can only use LaTeX markup for the various TeX terminals, not for
PostScript.

The ± symbol is octal \261 in the PostScript Symbol font.
All PostScript output devices should support this, as it is one of the
standard fonts.  See the gnuplot documentation for "enhanced text"
for examples of how to change fonts, use superscripts, etc.
