[Gnuplot-info] colours for axes

[Even K. <kar...@in...>]

Hello,

I intend to plot 2 statistical series in one graph with two vertical axes
(two scales).
A smart way to specify which curve is dedicated to which axe is to give the
axes the same colour the curve have.
So my question is : instead of having black axes by default, can I give
colours to axes with Gnuplot ?

Not while they're still the "axes".  The linetype of these border edges 
is not controllable individually.

What you can do is turn of the boundary, and draw your own one using 
something like

	set border 5
	set arrow from graph 0, graph 0 to graph 0, graph 1 lt 1 nohead
	set arrow from graph 1, graph 0 to graph 1, graph 1 lt 2 nohead
