I’ve had a major annoyance today: The plot generated by gnuplot looked good inside the wxt terminal but I simply couldn’t get a proper fullsized DIN A4 postscript exported. This is how I’ve done it now:

1. Inside gnuplot:

   set size ratio 0.71 # this is the ratio of a DIN A4 page (21/29.7)
   set terminal postscript enhanced landscape "Arial" 9 # you can change landscape to portrait and the fontname and -size
   set output 'yourfilename.ps' # this is your export file
   replot # or put your custom plot command here

2. In a shell:

   ps2ps -sPAGESIZE=a4 yourfilename.ps new_dina4_file.ps

3. Now you can simply print `new_dina4_file.ps` from within KGhostView for example. Have fun!
