Details:

When setting labels using the command line:
text(a, b, c, labels )
I receive a number of lines of output from gnuplot like:


gnuplot> set label "label" at  4835.473,140402700000,193.0772 left rotate by
0.000000 font ",10" enhanced front textcolor rgb "#000000";
                                       ^
         line 0: integer overflow; change to floating point


And ( as the output makes clear ), gnuplot fails to display the text.

I have attached a patch against the mercurial repo with a fix ( changing the
fprintf conversion specification in __go_draw_axes__.m from %g to %e.)
