#529 Allow specifying linetype for textbox borders
Dear developers,
I found that it seems currently not possible to specify the linetype for a textbox border, only the color and the width.
As an example,
set style textbox 1 border lc "black" lw 2
works, but adding dt 1 does not.
It would be nice to allow this in a similar way as for set key, so you can have matching style for a key (with a dashed border) and additional labels.
Is this something that could be implemented?
Best wishes

I'm sorry for having opened this under "support requests", this should have been under "feature requests". Could you please move the ticket?
Moved. Note that there are technical reasons why this would be difficult to implement. For some terminals the textbox border is created implicitly by setting some property of the text bounding box in a graphics support library; i.e. it is not explicitly drawn by gnuplot. To some extent you can control it by setting a requested linewidth and color, but even there the library may not deliver exactly what you expected.
Ticket moved from /p/gnuplot/support-requests/274/
