Default positions are: top, bottom, left, right, etc - but no "middle". When I use
set key top
The legend is placed at top right, by default. How to position it at "top middle"?
Besides, when I add a frame to the legend box, can I control the width of the box? I need this because sometimes the frame cut the text in the legend.

To answer your first question, there is a center
option instead of middle
:
set key top center
To change the width of the box, try
set key width 10
(or some other number) and see if that helps. If that does not help, can you post a minimal code example? You can also try
help set key
in gnuplot for more details about all the options available.

Instead of middle, use center
. You can find this instruction in gnuplot by using help
gnuplot> help key
The `set key` command enables a key (or legend) describing plots on a plot.
[...]
Syntax:
set key {on|off} {default}
[...]
{left | right | center} {top | bottom | center}
All the other answers are also provided in this help.
