[Gnuplot-info] How to change default properties?

[theozh <th...@gm...>]

a simple question...

I haven't yet found a way to change e.g. the default textcolor (or other
properties) of labels (or other objects).

For example, the standard textcolor is black, so if you type:

set label 1 "Text1" tc rgb "red"
set label 2 "Text2"
...
set label n "TextN"

Text2 to "TextN" will be in black. OK, fine, it seems if you want n
labels in red you have to specify each time the color for each label.
I was hoping that there is something like:

set textcolor rgb "red"   # from now on all labels are in red
or
set style label tc rgb "red"

set label 1 "Text1"
set label 2 "Text2"
...
set label n "TextN"

Which would make it easier to change the color at once of all following
labels or objects by simply change a single line of code.
Is there another simple way to do that?

'set linetype' is your friend.

aah... so easy...
ok, spending an "lt 1" for each label
and defining lt 1 beforehand and in case of change just redefining that
single line.

set linetype lc rgb "rgb"  # or whatever
set label 1 "Text1" lt 1
set label 2 "Text2" lt 1
...
set label n "TextN" lt 1

Thanks!

just for completeness...
correction:
for labels "lc" was missing

set label 1 "Text1" lc lt 1
...

sorry, again...
not "lc" but "tc" was missing...

set label 1 "Text1" tc lt 1
...

is correct.
