choose linestyle solid or dashed

[Hartmut E. <Har...@ip...>]

How can I create a solid and a dashed line of the same color for plotting a
function? When I use the different linetypes (in postscript output),
linetype 1 is always associated with a solid red line and linetype 2 with a
dashed green line etc. I did not find any possibility of drawing e.g. a
dashed red line.

You're posting this to gnuplot-beta, so I'll assume you have the 
development versioon.  In that case, the answer is: see the "linecolor" 
option, and use the 'linetype' to select between dot/dash types.
