7.4.5 Printing Plots
--------------------

If you want to print the plot, select `File => Print Plot'.  This pops
up the DDD printing dialog, set up for printing plots.  Just as when
printing graphs, you have the choice between printing to a printer or a
file and setting up appropriate options.

   The actual printing is also performed by Gnuplot, using the
appropriate driver.  Please note the following _caveats_ related to
printing:

   * Creating `FIG' files requires an appropriate driver built into
     Gnuplot.  Your Gnuplot program may not contain such a driver.  In
     this case, you will have to recompile Gnuplot, including the line
     `#define FIG' in the Gnuplot `term.h' file.

   * The `Portrait' option generates an EPS file useful for inclusion
     in other documents.  The `Landscape' option makes DDD print the
     plot in the size specified in the `Paper Size' option; this is
     useful for printing on a printer.  In `Portrait' mode, the `Paper
     Size' option is ignored.

   * The Gnuplot device drivers for PostScript and X11 each have their
     own set of colors, such that the printed colors may differ from the
     displayed colors.

   * The `Selected Only' option is set by default, such that only the
     currently selected plot is printed.  (If you select multiple plots
     to be printed, the respective outputs will all be concatenated,
     which may not be what you desire.)
