Thanks for your help G�nter, I figured out what my problem was, it had to do with pdflatex. Pdflatex has two problems which caused my issues: 1.) It does not support eps 2.) It does not support the \shortstack command
Using the epslatex terminal from gnuplot instead of either latex or pslatex solves this problem. The \put and \rotatebox are used intstead of \shortstack to do the rotation and pdflatex likes this. The first problem is solved by running epstopdf on the eps output file after running gnuplot. Because the tex output file from gnuplot includes the image without listing the extension, when pdflatex renders the file it chooses the pdf image, and when anything else renders the file it chooses the eps image. So it seems like this is a very quick way to use native latex text in the images (without having to use psfrag) I still can't get new lines, but it's not so much of an issue now...

I'm sure it's possible but I can't find the info anywhere. > Any help is appreciated. I am using Gnuplot/LyX for my daily work and the way I am doing it is via eps. This gives me nice plots to include with the Graphic inset and rotated y-label by default. If I want LaTeX fonts or Symbols, I use psfrag to replace text patterns in the eps.
