[Gnuplot-info] Possible to specify marker face color and marker edge color?

[Patrik.Br. <pat...@gm...>]

Hello, 

I have been working with Matlab alot, and plotting with Matlab has one
advantage; markers. Gnuplot gives me much more control, but there is one
thing I haven't figured out how to do yet, maybe someone knows. (I think
octave can do this too and since it uses gnuplot I figured it should be
possible)

I want to specify markers (points) with one edge color and another face
color. It is quite similar to the hollow markers that are found in gnuplot,
but without the transparent face/center. 

I have solved it by using two point types, like the following, but that
messes up the legend. Is it possible to define new point types as
combinations of existing point types?

reset
set terminal pngcairo size 200,200
set output 'mwe3.png'

set format x ''
set format y ''

# Line type with blue filled round markers
set style line 1 pt 7 lc 3 lt 1 ps 1

# Line type with light blue filled round smaller markers
set style line 2 pt 7 lc rgb "#abcdef" ps .6

# Plot same data twice with different point types
plot 'data.dat' using 1:2 with linespoints ls 1 t '1',\
	 '' using 1:2 with points ls 2 notitle
	 
unset output

data.dat:
