I'm plotting some heatmaps in gnuplot. It has the graph and a colorbar in the right side of the graph. But I wish to change it's position in the plot. Does anybody know the command to change the position of the colorbar in the plot ??

Thanks,

Thiago

You can use the command set colorbox:

set colorbox vertical user origin .02, .1 size .04,.8

If you want it anywhere but the default position you have to set the coordinates manually. For more info you can type

help set

in gnuplot and all the options starting with cb and colorbox refer to fine points of the colorbox.
