Thank you for making this excellent software and visualizer. The only issue I've run into is that it's difficult to prepare publication-quality figures because the png image sizes are hard-coded, and the font face/size parameters aren't included in out.gp for the png format.

I submitted a pull request with a few modifications to widen the margins and pass the font face and size variables to gnuplot, but I also wanted to point out that the image dimensions are hard-coded:
line 747: "$PNG tiny size $SIZE,$SIZE" : "$PNG small";

Additionally, in case it's helpful to other users, I wanted to note that you can put the labels at an angle by modifying:
line 822: print GFILE "set xtics rotate ( \\n";
to: print GFILE "set xtics rotate by -25 ( \\n"
This will give a -25 degree rotation, for example. For the y-axis, the corresponding line is 845.

Cheers and thank you again for developing this elegant and highly useful software!

Thanks for the feedback.

You mentioned above that you've submitted a pull request, but I don't see one here. Can you check if the submission went through properly?
