I still have problems generating nearly perfect postscript output. I'm
using the postscript enhanced terminal. Inorder to get pretty exponetials
I write:

set ytics ("10^{/ -20}" 1e-20, "10^{/ -19}" 1e-19, "10^{/ -18}")

The ps output looks really nice except that the plot area is effected
by the length of the string (even if the length of the xtics string
in the ps-output isn't long). If I use something like

set ytics ("This is a very long ytic" 1e-20, ......)

the plot area has nearly disappeared. Wouldn't it be better to define
something like

set plotsize 3in,3in

to fix the plot area once and let the user be responsible that the labels
appear at the right place? I would prefer that to make sure all plots in
my thesis have the same plot size.
If there are real problems implementing this I think I will have to change
the Postscript code, but I try to avoid this.
Thanks for any responses!
