Small space in gnuplot

Question

Does something like tiny space exist in gnuplot? I searching for something similar to, for instance, , in LaTeX.

set xlabel "2\,400\,000" 

Answer 1

Well, here is an awkward workaround without using a LaTeX terminal, but using enhanced text (check help enhanced).

I assume you want a thousand separator. If you are working under Linux, the following might be of interest: gnuplot: How to enable thousand separators (digit grouping)?

Script:

### small space between numbers
reset session

set termoption font "Arial,18"

set label 1 at graph 0.1,0.9 "2400000"
set label 2 at graph 0.1,0.8 "~2{.0}~ {.0 }40~0{.0}~ {.0 }000"
set label 3 at graph 0.1,0.7 "2 400 000"

plot x
### end of script

Result: (from wxt terminal under Windows)
