titles next to lines in gnuplot - gnuplot

The feature list for the new version of gnuplot states that "plot title can be placed next to the plot line in the graph proper." This is something I would like to be able to do automatically, but I can't find mention of how to do this in the documentation (probably because it hasn't been written yet). Does anyone know how to do this?

I found the answer in the command line documentation, I assume the pdf hasn't been updated yet. Here's the text:
If you want the title of a plotted line to be placed immediately before or
after that line in the graph itself, use `at {beginning|end}`. This option
may be useful when plotting `with lines` but makes little sense for some
other plot styles.

Italicize and color legend manually for different graphs using same labels and colors

I am trying to create multiple graphs that share the same legend.
I have found many ways to combine multiple graphs and it seems that ggarrange has the ability to create one shared legend for all that is supposed to be unique.
However I am having some problems when graphing since a few of the graphs do not have the same phyla (what defines the legend colors) present, but I would like them all to be the same colors throughout all of the graphs so the combined legend will have the correct colors.
For just one graph I would assign a color to the label manually like below
labs<-c("Arthropoda"="#FF66CC"
,"Cercozoa"="#FF6000")
and plot with the addition of scale_fill_manual(values=labs) and this seems to work
then I modified it so I could have portions of them italicized.
labsPhylum <-c('expression(paste(italic("Arthropoda")))'="#CC0000"
,'expression(paste(italic("Cercozoa")))'= "#FF6000"
,'expression (paste("unknown", ~italic("Eukaryota")))'= "#990000")`
However when I create a plot using ggplot and scale_color_manual() using the labsPhylum that I think should be italicized and colored I plot an empty graph with this warning so there is something vital I am not understanding here.
ggplot(data=sigtab_dil, aes(x=Species, y=log2FoldChange, color=Phylum))+
geom_point(size=2) +
scale_color_manual(values=labsPhylum)
Warning message:
Removed 9 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
Could someone please help me figure out where I am going wrong?
Thank you
Answered my own question
I realized I had to make separate vectors for breaks, labels, and values rather than combining them.
In short
colsPhylum <-c("Arthropoda"="#CC0000"
,"Cercozoa"= "#FF6000"
,"Chlorophyta"= "#CC9900"
labsPhylum <-c(expression(paste(italic("Arthropoda")))
,expression(paste(italic("Cercozoa")))
,expression(paste(italic("Chlorophyta ")))
breaksPhylum <-c("Arthropoda", "Cercozoa","Chlorophyta", "Choanozoa"
,"Ciliophora"
,"Cryptista"

Produce old style graphs and diagrams with gnuplot?

Hello fellow Stackoverflowers:
I am curious if it is possible to create a style or control the aestetic of the graphs and diagrams to look like they are from a turn-de-siclé book (talking about the 19th-20th centuries), that is, imitate the look of an etched graph. I have a simple diagram that I produced on inkscape that is a very very crude aproximation to what I am looking.
Could I produce something more "metal/wood engraving" on gnuplot? I have gnuplot 5.0.5. Thank for your attention, I hope this is the right forum.
Use gnuplot command test to see what fill patterns available.
Modifying or adding custom fill pattern is extremely difficult in gnuplot, as far as I know. See this example for how to manipulate the fill pattern: Gnuplot: how to fill a bar with both a color background and a pattern

How to connect two points with a curved line in GNUplot?

Its basically what the question says. I know that using tikz in latex it would be something like:
\draw[thick,dashed] (0,0) to [out=15,in=165] (1,0)
I would appreciate any help.
I think you have a misunderstanding how lines in gnuplot work. They are always directly connecting points. So you have to ways of faking it:
1) adding additional points and connecting them to "pretend" to have a curved line
2) define a function with the curve you want and plot it over the points (in xrange of point 1 to 2)
What I had to do is to great a .tex file with everything else a needed and then, in the .tex file I add the "\draw[thick,dashed] (0,0) to [out=15,in=165] (1,0)". But I wish I could know how to do it using GNUplot itself.

GPerfTools/pprof: what does a dashed line mean?

When you use the "--gv" option in GPerfTool's pprof command, you get a very pretty graph. Yay.
Lines are either thick, thin, dashed or solid. I figure thick/thin is based on the number of sample entries that follow that line.
But I have neither figure out nor found documentation as to what the dashed line means. Am currently going thru the pprof CODE, but frankly that's a REALLY STUPID way to figure out what it means. Thus, in addition to answering what the dashed line means, can you please point out some document that gives a legend of the pprof gv format?
This one (http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/cpu_profiler.html) must be out of date, as it has no mention of the dashed format...leading me to worry that it might be QUITE out of date.
From the code, it APPEARS that a dashed line means an inline function call. However, confirmation would be good.
DOCUMENTATION would be even better!
if ($x[1] =~ m/\(inline\)/) {
$style .= ",dashed";
}

The target node of any dashed arc contains "(inline)".

How do I put tick labels inside of a line graph in Flot

I essentially want to have the tick labels sitting inside the graph in their own column. Similar to how Campaign Monitor graphs are. But I can't find a way to do this. Is it possible?
In current versions of flot, the only thing you can control about the ticks is the contents and the label class (all ticks have the class "tickLabel").
I think with those two abilities, you cannot do what you're looking for.
Check out this flot bug for some code modifications that might get you to what you want: http://code.google.com/p/flot/issues/detail?id=191
How is this question different than this one?
jQuery Flot data/axis labels on top of graph
For that one, someone suggests negative labelMargins
