Re: Third release candidate for gnuplot 6

Hi Ethan. Thanks for pushing this out. I'm trying the 6.0-rc3 tag from
git.

A question below.

Can you talk a bit more about this? I wrote a simple script (tst.gp):

  set multiplot layout 2,1
  plot x
  plot x*x

I run "gnuplot" and "load tst.gp". I see the plots come up, as expected.
If I do a "replot" then I see the plots being redrawn, but without
clearing what's behind them, so you get an unusable image. remultiplot
does this:

  multiplot> remultiplot
             no datablock named $GPVAL_LAST_MULTIPLOT

I also tried to "set mouse multiplot", but that doesn't appear to do
anything different: I can still use the right button to try to zoom, but
it doesn't do anything. This is with the x11 and qt terminals.

I haven't checked if these are different from the behavior in previous
releases. It would be great, though, if you could resize a multiplot
window, and see all the plots be redrawn. Or if you could interactively
zoom in multiplots.

Thanks!
