Related to the dashed lines issue, someone noticed that {solid|dashed}
is not listed in the documentation for the Qt terminal even though these
terms are accepted and appear to do something relevant. The user
appears to not be able to get the proper dashed setting with a
combination of "termoption" and "term", even though inside gnuplot the
test page seems to function in a sensible way. I'd say hold off on that
other than perhaps adding {solid|dashed} to the Qt terminal
documentation. Fixing the x11 term is higher priority.

True. The {dashed|solid} options seem to be missing from the terminal's
help output. Perhaps the idea was to hold off advertising it until
dashlength could be implemented?

That's not much of a description to work from.
Have any more information?
Is it just that the terminal doesn't offer the "dashlength" option?

See other message. I don't think there's anything wrong with the x11
terminal. You could make a case that the way x11 itself works is a
problem, but X has been that way for 25 years now.

Darn those fingers! That should be a pipe of course.

Is dashlength working now? I see it in the ChangeLog.

Perhaps, something like that. I agree it isn't much to go on, though.
I'll get X11 color dashes working in Octave first and see if I can
reproduce the problem.

Working on it. I need to figure out where .Xresources or .Xdefaults
should reside.
Thanks,
