Hello,
probably a beginner question, but I wasn´t able to find an answer:
I have data points of three different measurements (i.e. three data files) and want to plot them using three lines. Lines should be colored, but with different line types (e.g. dashed) in order to be able to distinguish them on a black-white-printer output.
I want to use the resulting picture in a latex document I generate using pdflatex. Now, I wonder which terminal I should use. I have tried:
png - I wasn´t able to generate dashed lines here, is it possible?
postscript - basically it works, but I have to convert the resulting ps file, which seems to result in a visible loss of quality
fig - fonts and lines just look awfully after exporting the fig file to some format pdflatex understands, to be honest...
What terminal type whould you use in that situation? Is there anywhere a reference what the different terminals can do, especially how the line types assigned to the numbers actually look like? The manual tells me I should use test for getting this information, however, this just prints a look sequence of rubbish to the screen.
Thanks for any help!
