我用gnuplot生成一个带有以下代码的图：
set logscale y
set xlabel "iteration"
set ylabel "$\\varepsilon$"
set terminal epslatex color size 3.5,3.5
set out 'l2_errors_with_iteration_cc=00001_dt=1200_test.tex'
plot "l2_errors_with_iteration_cc=.00001_damping=0.9_dt=0.1200.txt" using 1:2 title 'current' with lines lw 4
set out
quit

现在，问题。在上面的代码中，我可以更改此行：
\begin{picture}(5040.00,5040.00)%
更具体地说是第一个数字，使其变大或变小。将其缩小会使得到的数字向右移动。因此，将其放大应该将图形向左移动。但事实并非如此。为什么？我想这样做是因为我认为情节的左边有太多的空间，ylabel似乎很孤独。我可以通过改变这一行来移动它：
\put(176,2739){\rotatebox{-270}{\makebox(0,0){\strut{}$\varepsilon$}}}%
将176增加（或减少）到我想要的任何值，但这并没有改变这样的事实，即似乎有比所需要的更多的空间。有趣的是，增加或减少第二个5040.00-实际上可以根据需要向上或向下移动图表（据我测试过），这就是为什么我觉得这可能是一个错误。
答案 0 :(得分：1)
通过复制你的数字，我发现左边的空格太多是由于\varepsilon文件中的y标签gnuplot。
我可以通过用gnuplot命令
set ylabel offset 3,0 "$\\varepsilon$"
在gnuplot文件中。您无需在begin{picture}环境中更改定位。
