Re: Plans for gnuplot version 5 [per-line ranges]

[Tait <gnu...@t4...>]

I think I remember some discussion a while back about changing plot's
syntax to specify a per-line range for plots. Something akin to:
  set xrange [-10:10]
  plot [0:10] sqrt(x), [-10:0] -log(-x+1)

... as a substitute for the current approach:
  rangefunc(x,min,max,func)=(x>min)&&(x<=max) ? func : 1/0
  plot rangefunc(x,0,10,sqrt(x)), rangefunc(x,-10,0,-log(-x+1))

Did that idea ever go anywhere? Since it's backward-incompatible with
the current plot [] syntax, it would probably have to be a major
version change.
