[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46886] linetype not respected across Gnuplot terminals

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #46886 (project octave):

Rik,

Have you tried different terminal types with 2D plots? Below is a script that
works for me. You'll need to delete "aqua".


1;

function do_plot (term)
  if (nargin < 1)
    term = "aqua";
  endif
  setenv ("GNUTERM", term);
  persistent x y
  if (isempty (x))
    x = 1:4;
    y = rand (4);
  endif
  h = plot (x, y(1,:), "-", ...
            x, y(2,:), "--", ...
            x, y(3,:), "-.", ...
            x, y(4,:), ":");
  set (h, "linewidth", 2);
  drawnow ()
end

graphics_toolkit gnuplot

figure (1)
do_plot aqua
figure (2)
do_plot x11
figure (3)
do_plot qt
figure (4)
do_plot wxt


I no longer have a gnuplot 4.6 to run. For gnuplot 5, this produces different
linestyles for the terminals. However, I have a patch that fixes that (it is
attached).

Sorry for cross-posting on the bug reports, but I posted to the wrong one
first.
