Re: [Maxima-discuss] Line types in the draw package

[Gunter K. <gu...@pe...>]

Did look at the gnuplot files generated by maxima that request the 
correct line style from gnuplot. Perhaps we should replace

@code{line_type} indicates how lines are displayed; possible values are
@code{solid} and @code{dots}, both available in all terminals, and
@code{dashes}, @code{short_dashes}, @code{short_long_dashes}, 
@code{short_short_long_dashes},
and @code{dot_dash}, which are not available in @code{png}, @code{jpg}, 
and @code{gif} terminals.

by

@code{line_type} indicates how lines are displayed; possible values are
@code{solid},  @code{dots} and (if supported by the selected terminal)
@code{dashes}, @code{short_dashes}, @code{short_long_dashes},
@code{short_short_long_dashes},  and @code{dot_dash}.

line_type indicates how lines are displayed; possible values are solid 
and dot on all
terminals, and dashes, short_dashes, short_long_dashes, short_
short_long_dashes, and dot_dash, which will be effective only if 
supported by the
selected terminal.

Kind regards,
