Hi Hagen, I’ve tried this using the aqua terminal but it doesn’t seem to work. Is this purely because of the terminal or can I turn some settings when setting aqua (i.e. setting `dashed` for dashed lines, since it is not default)? Thanks!

Is there a possibility to use this style with overlapping curves (see http://postimg.org/image/3thtv0gxx/) without “cutting” the other curves?

I have tried to find a similar line style in other plotting tools (pgfplots and matplotlib), but I couldn’t find a similar representation.

Maybe your gnuplot version is to old. Can you check what version you are running?

Nice plot. However when I want to run it in my mac I got the following error:

set pointintervalbox 2
^
line 31: Unrecognized option. See ‘help set’.

I can’t figure out what wrong!

I have updated the code to a more easier and gnuplot 4.6 compatible form

Hi Luke,

I was also wondering about that. Turns out you can do:

set key spacing -1
plot ‘plotting_data1.dat’ with linespoints ls 1 title “title for the key”, \
” with points ls 2 title ” ”

If you give a plot a blank title it won’t show up in the key, but if you give it a title that’s a single space character it’ll show up. Setting the key spacing to -1 will overlay the two key entries, which will achieve what we want. This will only work for a single key entry, and for a vertically spaced key (though there’s no difference between horizontal and vertical spacing with a single entry).
