Re: [Bug 688243] Spurious lines between joined filled rectangles and antialiasing (fwd)

[Ethan M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

This discussion seems to be veering off on a tangent,
since the bug has been confirmed to lurk on the ghostscript side
rather than in gnuplot's driver.

As I understand it, we're waiting to hear back from
the ghostscript people if there is a PostScript command that can
be embedded in the file which would set GraphicsAlphaBits to 1.
I imagine this would be some variant of

    /GraphicsAlphaBits where
    {(%something identifying ghostscript%) 
     <</GraphicsAlphaBits 1>> setdevparams} if

(obviously not tested by me)

But I fear this will encounter a number of problems,
such as not being allowing inside an EPSF file.
