Hi,
I am new to gnuplot and am trying to plot many
graphs on one plot, and I find the limitation
to nine different line types quite restrictive.
Ideally I would like 6 colors in 5 different styles
(solid, dotted, dashed...) a total of 30 different lines.
[The plots comes in 6 different families with each
5 members. The different members are quite similar,
but I need to be able to identify them]
Via .Xdefaults I can choose between millions of colors
and over 10.000 different dotted types, but I have only
access to 9 at the time.....
I don't understand the underlying restriction but it would
be really nice to be able to specify more line types
in .Xwindows.
I have tried to specify line types above number 8 but
that is sadly not recognises.
I am currently running gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0 on linux.
Here is an example of what I would like to do :
!Solid lines.
!==============
gnuplot*line1Color: red
gnuplot*line2Color: blue
gnuplot*line3Color: SpringGreen
gnuplot*line4Color: magenta
gnuplot*line5Color: cyan
gnuplot*line6Color: brown
gnuplot*line1Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line2Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line3Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line4Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line5Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line6Dashes: 0
!Dotted lines
!===================
gnuplot*line7Color: red
gnuplot*line8Color: blue
gnuplot*line9Color: SpringGreen
gnuplot*line10Color: magenta
gnuplot*line11Color: cyan
gnuplot*line12Color: brown
gnuplot*line7Dashes: 22
gnuplot*line8Dashes: 22
gnuplot*line9Dashes: 22
gnuplot*line10Dashes: 22
gnuplot*line11Dashes: 22
gnuplot*line12Dashes: 22
