Examples:
To draw an arrow without an arrow head and double width, use:
set style arrow 1 nohead lw 2
set arrow arrowstyle 1
See also ‘set arrow‘ for further examples.
36.57.2 Set style data
The set style data command changes the default plotting style for data plots.
Syntax:
set style data
show style data
See plotting styles (p. 94) for the choices. If no choice is given, the choices are listed. show style
data shows the current default data plotting style.
36.57.3 Set style fill
The set style fill command is used to set the style of boxes or candlesticks.
Syntax:
set style fill {empty | solid {} | pattern {}}
{border {} | noborder}
The default fillstyle is empty.
The solid option causes filling with a solid color, if the terminal supports that. The parameter
specifies the intensity of the fill color. At a of 0.0, the box is empty, at of 1.0,
the inner area is of the same color as the current linetype. Some terminal types can vary the density
continuously; others implement only a few levels of partial fill. If no parameter is given, it
defaults to 1.
The pattern option causes filling to be done with a fill pattern supplied by the terminal driver. The
kind and number of available fill patterns depend on the terminal driver. If multiple datasets using filled
boxes are plotted, the pattern cycles through all available pattern types, starting from pattern ,
much as the line type cycles for multiple line plots.
The empty option causes filled boxes not to be filled. This is the default. It is equivalent to the solid
option with a parameter of zero.
By default, border, the box is bounded by a solid line of the current linetype. border specifies
that a border is to be drawn using linetype . noborder specifies that no bounding lines are drawn.
36.57.4 Set style function
The set style function command changes the default plotting style for function plots.
Syntax:
set style function
show style function
See plotting styles (p. 94) for the choices. If no choice is given, the choices are listed. show style
function shows the current default function plotting style.
