That's a great solution!


(*)
gnuplot> plot x w l lt pal
         2D plots cannot color by Z value; please use splot instead

It should say sth like "plot: argument for palette is always required" or
"the syntax is 'lt pal' for splot (z-coloring), or 'lt pal <color>' for
plot"


(*)
'help linestyle': please add help for the rgb


Otherwise, the patch is fine.
