Legend/subtitles/set position

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Dear All,
I have had some problems to set an ideal position to the legend (or key) of Scheil-Gulliver.
Of course, I'd like to set in a position that this legend does not across the curve. As the figure below.
But, when I try to set a position, it takes outside the graph or change "Equilibrium" legend.
It seems that is not possible to set just one legend.

fig12_mod

I have tried by both OpenCalphad (Tools > Utility for Gnuplot) or directly in Gnuplot without success.
In OpenCalphad I could not plot. Because this "Plot" function stay unavailable.

Any tip?

Hello Trianex,

This problem will be fixed in the next release of OpenCalphad CAE.

However, you can plot it with right legend position via manual modification of fig12_mod.plt (or fig12.plt) file.

  1. Go to folder C:\OpenCalphad_CAE_0_1_0\Console\temp_output
  2. Open fig12_mod.plt using any text editor
  3. Find the line ' set key title "Scheil-Gulliver" ', then go to the next line and replace string 'bottom left' with 'at 0.75, 2000'
  4. Find the line ' set key Right title "Equilibrium" ', then go to the next line and replace string 'bottom left' with 'at 0.75, 2500'
  5. Save fig12_mod.plt
  6. Double-click fig12_mod.plt to plot (if gnuplot is added to path in the environment variables)

Tips: you can always edit the plt file to generate new plot if you have good knowledge about gnuplot (http://gnuplot.info/).
Use: set key at x, y
where x and y are the values for the x-axis and y-axis respectively

Hi Jerry1999,
Great! It worked.

Just one correction in the path 4 that you showed to us. We will find "top right" instead of 'bottom left'.
I followed your instructions. But, I just put:

  1. 'at 0.75, 2000' as 'at 0.90, 2000'
  2. 'at 0.75, 2500' as 'at 0.90, 2500'
  3. I changed the font from 11 to 8

Then:
fig12_mod

Thank you Jerry1999!

All the best,
Trianex
