Re: Expecting support for multiple keys

[Liu G. <goo...@gm...>]

I still expect the support for multiple keys.

Using labels is too complicated and inconvenient.
Label is only suitable for adding text, but incapable of adding lines, 
points, linepoints, histograms, etc.
For example, I don't know how to use label to mimic the key in the 
following plot statement:

plot  'data1'  t 'test1'  w p pt 7 ps 2, \
         'data2'  t 'test2'  w l  lw 2 lt 3,\
         'data3'  t 'test3'  w lp  lt 1 lw 2 pt 6 ps 2,\
         'data4'  t 'test4'  w histograms
