global pt

[Johannes Z. <joh...@ze...>]

Hello,

is it possible to set a global point type, e.g. pt 7 for all plots
w/o specifying it on the plot command line?

I don't think so.  That would have to be done by 'set style plot', in 
the current setup, but such a command doesn't exist, nor do 'set style 
data' or 'set style functions' extend to this.

I wonder if we could provide an option to cycle through line *styles*
rather than line *types* in successive plots.  This would allow you,
for instance, to set all line styles to use pt 7, and then issue plot
commands as usual.

Something like that could be useful; nowadays, we can use macros (cool!).
