#Latex gnuplot driver

The author of that code had implemented a complete driver to generate ALL graphics in latex just because it is impossible to align all text on the EPS file(s). (These files can be generated by invoking lua a style where a can be found in GNUPLOT/lua/a. Scientific papers are usually created using LaTex. What it does is, it divides the image in two parts, in one part, it plots required image/. This is an example for re-creating gnuplot charts with tikz on LaTeX, made possible by adding gnuplot-lua-tikz.sty and gnuplot-lua-tikz-common.tex to your project. In the old days, in PAW, was implemented a LaTex driver which generated one single LaTex file for that purpose. Gnuplot has inbuilt capability to write any equation in LATEX format. Also what do you do when you have a divided pad ? you generate one EPS file per sub-pad and then try to align them on a grid in LaTex ? One thing that you wont find there is the infamous r-squared, or Coefficient of determination.

Gnuplot I used gnuplots curve fitting quite a lot. and LaTeX will use the ps, and pdflatex will use the pdf. I guess with this “2 files approach” you can may be generate a caption corresponding to the histogram title but for all other texts (axis label in particular) that will be a nightmare and the result will never be perfect. Vim, LaTeX, awk and Gnuplot This document is just a draft, and I dont know how likely it is that Ill ever finish it. If that is really what you want that is not easy at all to do, even impossible I guess, because it depends on the context of the latex document in which it will be included and because Latex is a text processing program and you cannot place items at pixel positions like in EPS. So that means all the text (axis labels, axis title, legend etc …) clearly written in ASCII in a Latex file and all the rest (line etc) in EPS ? and you want the EPS aligned on the text ?
