Sometimes, when you have few curves, you may want to use solid lines
with different levels of gray rather than a mixture of solid, dashed,
and dotted lines.  Is that clearer?

Sorry, I don't understand this.

More precisely: How does GNUplot connect points together when using
"with boxes" in `splot'?  I have splots here with nice grids when I use
"with lines" but changing it to "with boxes" yields unreadable plots.
