Re: [Gnuplot-info] New version of gnuplot broke my right labels

[Mark H. <ma...@ha...>]

`.set y2label`  was my shorthand for .set("y2label") which is
javascript.  I know nothing about any other syntax, I only use it with
js.

I am not surprised that 6.0.2 works.  I went back to 4.6 and
everything works.   The bug is apparently only in 5.x.
