[Gnuplot-info] scatterplot legend mousing: sample points too small

[Alan E. D. <ln...@gm...>]

I am plotting 12 sets of data, with mousing enabled, in distinct colors.
In order to turn off the plot for one of the datasets, one clicks on the
legend line for that dataset's color.   This is a large dataset,
relatively, with thousands of points for each set, plotted in an extremely
small size of 0.04 or 0.05.

I have not found a way to independenly specify the legend to display a
sample of the color in any other manner than as a colored point.   I have
seen some kludges mentioned, such as to plot an empty set first, then plot
over it with the data.  The issue here is that I am plotting 12 different
files at one time.

Is there some way to use a square or rectangle of color as the sample, of
arbitrary size?

Another problem: for different terminals, the legend should be clicked at
some different part of the line in the legend.  For the svg terminal, this
seems to not be the sample, while in the wxt terminal, it is the sample (of
course, it is spotty, because the samples are also of the small size
0.05mm.

I also notice that with the svg terminal, when viewed with a browser, the
response is slow.  Is it possible this is due to the large size (5MB) of
the file?

This is a very interesting capability.   Can anyone shed light on how to
get this working properly?
