Re: [Maxima-discuss] plot2d point types with [points,nr,nc,nt] use

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

The gnuplot 5.0 manual tells about point types:

The first 8 point types are shared by all terminals. Individual
terminals may provide a much larger number of distinct point types. Use
the test command to show what is provided by the current terminal.
Alternatively any single printable character may be given instead of a
point type, as in the example below. Longer strings may be plotted using
the plot style labels rather than points.

"terminal" is gnuplot's word for "display driver".

If you double-click on gnuplot.exe and type in the command

   test

or

   set term <name of the terminal maxima uses>
   test

gnuplot will show all point types it can produce with the terminal being
used.


Kind regards,

   Gunter.
