Dear Maintainer, When setting labels for xtics, it looks like gnuplot adds some extra space on the right to accomodate for the text width... if it were left aligned. Angles 0° and 90° seem to have special case calculation. This is especially annoying for multiplot when only the rightmost plots are smaller for no reason. I attach two gifs and the script to generate them, testing all the xtics angles. One with the labels left-aligned (the default) one with the labels right-aligned. The issue should become obvious. It happens for the three terminals I tested: pngcairo, gif and qt. Best regards, Celelibi
