[Gnuplot-bugs] Gnuplot 4.0: Point Types missing in 'demo' plot

[Ulrich S. <q...@ga...>]

Hi all,

first of all, I'm not subscribed, so please keep me CC'ed.

I have to recreate a plot with different data, but same layout/point
types. This plot is using pt in the range [32-63] of the postscript
driver.

I was hunting the 'net for hours(!) trying to find a listing of these,
but the gnuplot manual does not list all available types and the output
of the "demo" command is only listing pt -1 to 32.

So _please_ add the other 32 point types to the "demo" command, so
others can save the time manually testing all point types.

Thank you!

That would be the wrong thing to do.  First, because most terminals 
don't have anywhere near as many point types as postscript.  Second, 
because we already distribute a dedicated demonstration sheet for the 
postscript point types (see docs\psdoc\ps_symbols.*)
