adapting set label command in Gnuplot

Question

I have some problem with adapting the set label command as per my requirement. I have to insert a label on the top left of the plot. My label contain mathemaical exponent. so I used the following command

set label 1 '$\times10^{-7}$' at graph 0,1.025

I have used epslatex output terminal and the result I have got is not as expected.

This looks like a latex problem rather than a gnuplot problem. I have no trouble rendering your label with pdflatex and the epslatex terminal. — Miguel

You have to use double '\' (\\). And should have to put a white space between \\times and 10 (but I'm not sure now).

set label 1 "$\\times 10^{-7}$" at graph 0,1.025

(PS.: I prefer cdot instead of times ;-) )

Thanks a lot it is working quite well and I consider your suggestion about \cdot.

No escaping should be required when using single quotes, which is what the OP posted. There must be something else involved here.
