Hi,

Apologies, for lack of details. I found the command here http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/dashcolor.html . My main point was to add a dashed line option to the GUI.

I am using the GNUPlot bundled with the latest cvs of gretl.

Subject: Re: [Gretl-devel] Sugestion: set termoption dash

Hi,

I was puzzled with this and did some searches to find that is missing the line style in the plot.

For example if you use:
set terminal pngcairo
set output 'dashed.png'
set termoption dashed
plot x**2 ls 2

unset output

(green dashed lines)

Got the idea from http://theletterpsi.blogspot.pt/2010/11/setting-dashed-line-style-on-pdf.html

Have a nice gnuplotting days :).

Hmm, what version of gnuplot are you using? With gnuplot 4.6.3 on
Fedora 20, "set termoption dash" (or the full form "set termoption
dashed") doesn't seem to do anything at all for the terminals I'm
interested in (pngcairo, pdfcairo, epscairo, svg): lines remain
solid.

Test script (change terminal and filename extension at will):

<gnuplot>
set terminal pngcairo
set output 'dashed.png'
set termoption dashed
plot x**2
</gnuplot>
