I'm new to gnuplot and find it very powerful but there are a couple of
fairly simple things that I just can't see how to do.
One is to escape in the greek symbol "alpha", "beta","theta" or "pi" or
equivalently to tell the axis scaling logic that I would like an axis to
scaled in fractions of pi. I can rename the variables but pi is well pi!
The compromise I have settled on for now is to plot the results on the
range -1 to 1 and label the axis as theta/pi since I don't know and
can't figure out how to escape it in. I tried \pi a la TeX.
I have also tried various suggestions I found online {/Symbol p} and I
do get an unprintable character displayed as a "?" but nothing more
terminal type is "qt" enhanced.
Thanks for any enlightenment on how to show Greek letters on graphs.
I was initially confused by the distinction when in mono mode between
set mono linetype and set linetype. It all worked OK once I remembered
to explicitly specify set mono linetype.
A few more distinct defined mono linetypes wouldn't go amiss in the
default distribution. 5 seems a bit mean given that they are a bit
tricky to alter. Seems to me when terminal is in mono mode the "mono"
linetype settings should be the ones that get changed by set linetype.
