[Gnuplot-info] Line plots

[Richard G. <rlg...@or...>]

I am trying to figure out how to change the line style for my plots, running
gnuplot on mac os-x.  I have tried several things, with nothing working so
far, so I am missing something obvious.  I tried putting
 gnuplot*line1Dashes: 42
in my .Xdefaults file and in my .gnuplot file , and have had no luck.  I am
running 
        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.2 patchlevel 3
        last modified Mar 2008
        System: Darwin 8.11.1

I am trying to get the line styles to be more distinct, so that small black
and white plots will be easier to understand than with what I get with the
default line types.

I have used things like:
   set style line 4 lt 4 lw 5 pt 6 ps 1
and it does not quite get me what I want.

Any hints would by appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich
