#4015 — eepic not working when using size

With
set term eepic
set output "xxx.tex"
plot "xxxx"

I get output just fine.  But with

set term eepic size 3.5,3.5

and after plot, no output.  I can find no way to set the size of the canvas.

This is my first time using gnuplot, but I think I'm following the
documentation.  Any help much appreciated.  Thanks,
Fred

I've found a solution.  If I put the commands in a file, and then

load "that.file"

the canvas size gets set.

That shouldn't happen, neither in interactive nor in scripted mode. And
doesn't for me, at least with gp5.2pl4. I used "plot x" instead of your
data file "xxxx", but that really shouldn't make a difference

dvi output looks like expected. I'm not sure how it could be made to
work with pdflatex, the help says I need a "printer driver", whatever
that means. With pdflatex, you get tic labels, key labels, but no axes
or an actual graph.

I've got a suspicion that eepic is sort of outdated. Try cairolatex?
