It's already interesting to know that it's not "pdf" but
"pdfcairo"
which matters. And enabling this is of course great news! As it happens,
I actually was trying this on Windows (at work), so I can live with not
having it on Linux for now.
In addition (but this one is not a change) the user's choice of
line width should carry over. This may require a little manual
tweaking: the differing device resolution may mean that you have
to "exaggerate" a thicker line width to make it visible in PDF or
EPS output.
Ah, also good to know! I will try it out eventually.
As for gnuplot documentation not being readily accessible (Sven),
I have to disgree: google "gnuplot documentation" and click "I
feel lucky!". It's all there.
sorry what I meant wasn't "not available" but "not easily
understandable", "confusing". I think you even agreed on that a while
ago...
thanks,
