[Gnuplot-info] Problem with opaque key overlapping axis

[Bo J. <li...@f7...>]

Hi all

I would like to move the key part to overlap with the axis,
but have noticed that the "opaque" option does not work on the axis but 
only on the plot itself and the tic-markers.

A very minimal is:

set key box opaque at screen 0.90,0.98
plot sin(x)

where it is clearly seen (on gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 5) that the plot and 
tic markers are gone, but the axis is drawn over the key.
I have tried with a number of different therminals and it seems to be 
the same.

Is this the intended interpretation of the opaque option?
Does an work around  exists?



In multiplot mode it becomes even more strange, as the opaque option now 
is working inconsistently.

When running the below attached example (on gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 5)
the opaque key box nicely overlays the axis from the top plot but not 
from the bottom plot.

## minimal example of problem with opaque key overlapping axis
set multiplot layout 2,1

set bmargin 0
set xtics format ""
set key off
plot sin(x), cos(x), sin(2*x)

set bmargin 2
set xtics format "%g"
set key box opaque at screen 0.9,0.55
plot sin(x), cos(x), sin(2*x)


Best regards
