3.24.71 title

The title command produces a plot title that is centered at the top of the plot. title is a special case of `set label`.

Syntax:

           set title {"<title-text>"} {offset <offset>} {font "<font>{,<size>}"}
                     {{textcolor | tc} {<colorspec> | default}} {{no}enhanced}
           show title
     

If <offset> is specified by either x,y or x,y,z the title is moved by the given offset. It may be preceded by `first`, `second`, `graph`, `screen`, or `character` to select the coordinate system. See `coordinates` for details. By default, the `character` coordinate system is used. For example, "`set title offset 0,-1`" will change only the y offset of the title, moving the title down by roughly the height of one character. The size of a character depends on both the font and the terminal.

<font> is used to specify the font with which the title is to be written; the units of the font <size> depend upon which terminal is used.

`textcolor <colorspec>` changes the color of the text. <colorspec> can be a linetype, an rgb color, or a palette mapping. See help for colorspec and palette.

`noenhanced` requests that the title not be processed by the enhanced text mode parser, even if enhanced text mode is currently active.

title with no parameters clears the title.

See `syntax` for details about the processing of backslash sequences and the distinction between single- and double-quotes.
