How to make labels and title bold in gnuplot?

Question

I want to make the labels and title of the plot bold. I know how to change size, i.e.

set title font ',30'

I looked at a question here which state to do this:

set ytics format "{/:Bold {/=14 %h}}"

But it works only for tics. How to do it for labels and titles also?

Which gnuplot version and which terminal are you using? – theozh Jun 14 '21 at 17:32 — theozh, Jun 14 '21 at 17:32

Which gnuplot version and which terminal are you using? The following should work from gnuplot >=5.0.0 with wxt terminal.

Code:

### bold labels and title
reset
set term wxt enhanced

set title  "{/:Bold My Title in bold}"
set xlabel "{/:Bold my xlabel in bold}"
set ylabel "{/:Bold my ylabel in bold}"

plot x
### end of code

Result:

What about the key? – Sahil Jun 15 '21 at 14:08

@Sahil right. For some reason in 5.4.1 the key seems to be bold automatically, but not in 5.0.0, so then try `set key font "{:Bold}," `. – theozh Jun 15 '21 at 14:20

yeah, this method works for anything. It worked for the tics also. – Sahil Jun 15 '21 at 19:05
