[Gnuplot-info] example of 'set style fill border' that uses both lt and lc?

[Derek L. <de...@bo...>]

The Gnuplot manual page for 'set style fill' shows the following syntax:

set style fill {empty
                    | {transparent} solid {<density>}
                    | {transparent} pattern {<n>}}
                   {border {lt} {lc <colorspec>} | noborder}

I don't understand one aspect of the border option here: are the {lt} and {lc <colorspec>} supposed to be mutually exclusive (i.e., with a | between them)?  If no, can someone provide a terminal type and example that shows how one can use these together to achieve some effect?

I've been using

set terminal wxt
set style fill pattern 2 border 6
plot 'silver.dat' u 1:2 w boxes
set style fill pattern 2 border lc "aquamarine"
replot
set style fill pattern 2 border 6 lc "aquamarine"

The last command gives me "unexpected or unrecognized token" at the 'lc' after the '6', so obviously Gnuplot doesn't like that.

I'm not even sure specifying a linetype and lc <colorspec> together makes any sense.  This is my first time using Gnuplot directly.

I'm on a Mac using Gnuplot 5.0.1 (via MacPorts), and I have available the following terminals (though maybe no way to visualize the output from some of them):
