Re: [Gnuplot-info] axis color, point type & point thickness

> Dear GNUPlot:

It's gnuplot... it's not GPL-licensed, and there is no connection to GNU/FSF except the unfortunate coincidence of naming. (There's a FAQ about how the name gnuplot came to be, if you're curious.)

> 1) ... a way to have y1 axis, tics & label of the same color as the first curve, and y2 axis, tics & label of the same color as the second curve?...

Yes... see the "Coloured axes" section near the bottom of http://gnuplot-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/05/gnuplot-tricks-many-say-that-it-is.html for an example.


> 2) Suppose I plot points in a 3D graph. Is there a point type representing a small cube, similar to the small square existing for 2D graphs? (I know a small square is possible in 3D, but I don't really like it.)

You can see all the point types for a given terminal with the 'test' command. As far as I know, there are no solid, 3D point types.


> 3) Suppose I plot points using crosses. Is there a way to change the thickness of the lines of the cross?

That is controlled via linewidth. If you want the line itself and the points to be different thicknesses, you'll have to plot the same data as points, then as a line. For example, "plot 'file.dat' with points lw 3, '' with lines lw 1" or see 'help linewidth'.
