"set label" with "linestyle"

[Juergen W. <wie...@fr...>]

Hi,

is there any reason that 'set label "foo" point ls 5' does not work?
OK, to set the linestyle for a point doesn't /sound/ very useful,
but the way gnuplot works, it would be, I think.  [I had half an
hour of work today to work around this in my scripts.  I would have
changed the code instead, if I had known how easy it is.]

If it would be an effort to allow it, but it seems a simple


             if (almost_equals(c_token, "po$int")) {
                 int stored_token = ++c_token;
             struct lp_style_type tmp_lp;
 
-            lp_parse(&tmp_lp, 0, 1, -2, -2);
+            lp_parse(&tmp_lp, 1, 1, -2, -2);
             if (stored_token != c_token) {
                 loc_lp = tmp_lp;
                 loc_lp.pointflag = 1;


in set.c:4402 (parse_label_options) would suffice, wouldn't it?


Greetings,
