## 2.3.1 Paper sizes

By default, the `postscript` terminal, and the `enlarge` terminal option, read the paper size for their output from the user’s system locale settings. It may be changed, however, with `set papersize` command, which may be followed either by the name of a recognised paper size, or by the dimensions of a user-defined size, specified as a `height`, `width` pair, both being measured in millimetres. For example:

    set papersize a4
    set papersize 100,100

A complete list of recognised paper size names can be found in Appendix 6.1
