[Gnuplot-info] Re: Changing the line width (Boris Thibert)

[Gavin B. <gav...@ya...>]

Hi,

I can't see why it wouldn't work the same way - I
usually just write

plot 'data.dat' u 1:2 w l lt 1 lw 3

to plot the data in the file data.dat using the first
two columns with lines, line type 1 and line width 3.

Is your data still coming out with line width 1? It
could be the terminal settings? Try it using different
terminals, (e.g., if your on a unix or linux) 

set term post
set output 'out.ps'
plot 'data.dat' u 1:2 w l lt 1 lw 3
set term x11

and then view the postscript file. It should be
fine....
