Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Axis Labels of EPS File missing?

[Paradigm6790]

Hello,

I have a problem where I have an eps file I generated in gnuplot that looks exactly the way I want it, and when I put it into my latex document it fits but loses all of it's axis labels. At first I thought it was a cropping issue, but the x axis is between the key and the graph and it still goes missing.

This is the raw eps file:

EPSraw.png (68.8 KiB) Viewed 7900 times

Then I add it to my latex document using \includegraphics[keepaspectratio , angle=-90 , width=\textwidth]{graph1.eps} ( I am aware that the aspectratio thing is redundant )

This results in:

EPSincluded.png (37.9 KiB) Viewed 7900 times

I am truly stumped on this one.

Did you use the epslatex terminal in gnuplot to create the graph1.eps file? If so, then there should have been two files created: graph1.eps and graph1.tex. The graph1.tex file is what you use in LaTeX, and that file handles the graph1.eps file (including the axis labels) for you. So instead of \includegraphics{graph1.eps}, you would do this:

Code: Select all

\input{graph1}

If you used the postscript terminal in gnuplot, then I'm stumped too, because the axis labels should be in the eps file.

Thanks for the reply, that was exactly my problem. I was using the postscript terminal, but I tried using epslatex and it worked perfectly. It takes up the entire page right now though, but that's an easy fix.

In case others have this issue I'll post my old and new code.

This was the code that had the original problem

Code: Select all

set terminal postscript enhanced color
set size ratio 0.7058
set output 'TR-100/graph1.eps'
set grid

set key font "Arial,10"
set key center bot
set key out vertical
set key horizontal center
set key box

set style line 1  linetype 1 linecolor rgb "red"  linewidth 2.000 pointtype 1 pointsize default
set style line 3  linetype 1 linecolor rgb "#DAA520"  linewidth 2.000 pointtype 3 pointsize default
set style line 4  linetype 1 linecolor rgb "#006400"  linewidth 2.000 pointtype 4 pointsize default
set style line 6  linetype 1 linecolor rgb "blue"  linewidth 2.000 pointtype 6 pointsize default

#unset multiplot

The first line is where the problem was, I included all of my code in case there was a more tricky reason why it wasn't showing up.

Thanks again!

Not directly a solution to your problem. Just an appetizer for future projects. Such diagrams can be done by the brilliant pgfplots package. This solution has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are:

• Full consistency with the font, thus perfect integration into the document.
• The code can be manipulated from inside your document.
• Problems as described here don't occur.

The disadvantages are:

• You have to get familiar with one more package.
• Now and then a long training period to learn the syntax.
