Absolute scale of x- and y-axis



Is there a known solution for telling gnuplot to scale both axis in a 2D-diagram?

e.g. 1 unit on the x-axis should be exact 1 mm on paper

I tried both: the size option of the terminal (to define the size of the canvas) and set size (to define the size of the diagram) - but I couldn't find a solution to get the right scale.

Thank you for your ideas in advance!

FYI: I use the "postscript enh eps"-terminal to generate an eps-file. Afterwards I convert the *.eps to *.pdf via epstopdf. Finally I truncate the *.pdf by using pdfcrop.pl (H. Oberdiek). Then I plot the pdf on the printer without fitting-option or anything else.
