I'm not sure that's correct.
I don't have time to test tonight, but I think that
plot $FOO with linespoints lt NODRAW
is supposed to draw the points but not the line, and if I'm reading this right the patch will cause it to not draw the points either.
But I'm blanking on the use case for this. It was something recent....
Drat. I'll have to look back through recent bug reports.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I haven't thought that points and lines might behave differently with respect to the selected linetype. Is this supposed to be handled in every terminal implementation, or shouldn't the case of plot x linespoints lt nodraw be handled separately in the calling code?
In any case, the current implementation of
plot x with points lt -2
in the lua tikz terminal throws an error. I had the LT_NODRAW skip the whole plotting stuff, which currently isn't done. But at this point no color is set, which gives an error.
I've also seen, that lt -2 and lt nodraw behaves differently when used together with the points plotting style. With lt nodraw a linetype is selected which depends on the actual position in the plot command. I'll report that as a separate bug.

Hi,
I forgot to handle
nodrawfor points. The attached patch fixes this.Best,
