Graphic output: "eps"

Most of the scientific journals asks for figures in "eps" (encapsuled postscript) to publish a paper. The option in gnuplot is:
set term postscript eps enhanced options
where options can be color, solid and/or dashed (only in the newest versions). The font and size used in all labels can be controlled here using: font "FONT, size" .

Using ampersand (&) in labels

To use the ampersand symbol (&) in labels, write \&.

Labels in two lines

If the axis label is too long and you need to split it in two lines, you should write \n in the breaking point.
