Re: [Gnuplot-info] Problem: missing dots when converting to pdf

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

it's a problem of the pdf viewing program.
in acrobat reader, if i switch off 'enhance thin lines' then the dots
are nearly invisible and only appear if 'smooth line art' is switched
off too.

for some terminals (eg. postscript. pdf) the dot size can be changed
using the 'linewidth' option:

plot 'mydata' u 1:4 w d lw 5
