2.19.65 title

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

Syntax:

           set title {"<title-text>"} {<xoff>}{,<yoff>} {"<font>{,<size>}"}
                     {{textcolor | tc} {lt <line_type> | default}}
           show title
     

Specifying constants <xoff> or <yoff> as optional offsets for the title will move the title <xoff> or <yoff> character screen coordinates (not graph coordinates). For example, "`set title ,-1`" will change only the y offset of the title, moving the title down by roughly the height of one character.

<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 lt <n>` sets the text color to that of line type <n>.

`set 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.
