Here's a post that I had previously found useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19412382/gnuplot-line-types I think this is only semi-offtopic because gretl uses gnuplot so tightly integrated. I think this is changed from gnuplot 4 to 5. Quoting from the linked page above: [In version 5] "The terminal options dashed and solid are ignored. By default all lines are solid. To change them to dashed, use e.g. set for [i=1:8] linetype i dashtype i" So the new gnuplot option 'dashtype' would play the central role. good luck, sven

Hi Alan, Thanks. But won't that remove color from the plot? My goal is to produce a plot that is ready for online or print publications. So it would be nice to have both colors and dashed lines.

This sort of thing should also work in gnuplot 5.0: set term pdfcairo mono dashed Allin _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users

Just a suggestion for finding "good" colours that look nice in b/w and colour print: http://colorbrewer2.org/ Frederik
