4.1.50 svg
This terminal produces files in the W3C Scalable Vector Graphics format.
Syntax:
set terminal svg {size <x>,<y> {|fixed|dynamic}}
{{no}enhanced}
{fname "<font>"} {fsize <fontsize>}
{mouse} {standalone | jsdir <dirname>}
{name <plotname>}
{font "<fontname>{,<fontsize>}"}
{fontfile <filename>}
{rounded|butt} {solid|dashed} {linewidth <lw>}
{background <rgb_color>}
where <x> and <y> are the size of the SVG plot to generate, ‘dynamic‘ allows a svg-viewer to resize plot, whereas the default setting, ‘fixed‘, will request an absolute size.
‘linewidth <w>‘ increases the width of all lines used in the figure by a factor of <w>.
<font> is the name of the default font to use (default Arial) and <fontsize> is the font size (in points, default 12). SVG viewing programs may substitute other fonts when the file is displayed.
The svg terminal supports an enhanced text mode, which allows font and other formatting commands to be embedded in labels and other text strings. The enhanced text mode syntax is shared with other gnuplot terminal types. See ‘enhanced‘ for more details.
The ‘mouse‘ option tells gnuplot to add support for mouse tracking and for toggling individual plots on/off by clicking on the corresponding key entry. By default this is done by including a link that points to a script in a local directory, usually /usr/local/share/gnuplot/<version>/js. You can change this by using the ‘jsdir‘ option to specify either a different local directory or a general URL. The latter is usually appropriate if you are embedding the svg into a web page. Alternatively, the ‘standalone‘ option embeds the mousing code in the svg document itself rather than linking to an external resource.
When an SVG file will be used in conjunction with external files, e.g. if it embeds a PNG image or is referenced by javascript code in a web page or embedding document, then a unique name is required to avoid potential conflicting references to other SVG plots. Use the ‘name‘ option to ensure uniqueness.
SVG allows you to embed fonts directly into an SVG document, or to provide a hypertext link to the desired font. The ‘fontfile‘ option specifies a local file which is copied into the <defs> section of the resulting SVG output file. This file may either itself contain a font, or may contain the records necessary to create a hypertext reference to the desired font. Gnuplot will look for the requested file using the directory list in the GNUPLOT_FONTPATH environmental variable. NB: You must embed an svg font, not a TrueType or PostScript font."
