 In git and snapshots there's now a trial implementation of
something 
 that was first requested some time ago, namely independent control of 
 line colors and line dash-types.
 
 If you create a plot with lines in the GUI, right-click and select 
 "Edit", then go to the "Lines" tab, you'll see a drop-down
selector 
 offering the 5 "gnuplot standard" lines (one solid and four dashed 
 and/or dotted patterns) for each line (up to six lines).
 
 I haven't done a great deal of testing yet, so please bash on it and see 
 what happens. 
Awesome, this is indeed the oldest open feature request on the 
sourceforge tracker!
Works fine here for me (on Windows 7), I'm just wondering whether that 
drop-down selector should be deactivated (greyed out) when the plot 
style is points or similar, i.e. something where the line pattern 
doesn't apply.
But I'm going to close the feature request ticket right away...
thanks,
