[Pw_forum] Greek letter in gnuplot bandplot

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Dear Alberto,
there are many ways to get Greek letter in gnuplot, what will work for you 
depends on two important parameters: 1. the version of gnuplot 2. the kind of 
gnuplot termina lyou are using.

If you are using one of the latex terminals you can usually put latex commands 
in the labels. If you are NOT using a latex terminal, you usually have to set 
the "enhanced" option of the terminal (if it has it) for the {/Symbol G} 
gimmick to work

hth

p.s. you'll find much more information googling "greek letters gnuplot"
