This example gives the basic information:

plot cos(x),\
     sin(x),\
         .4,\
        -.4
reset
# ---------------------

linetype | lt <0..15>

Each number corresponds to a different color. (see test)

# ---------------------
# save this file as : a_main.plt
# Then into gnuplot : load "a_main.plt"
#
#  linetype  | lt <0..15>

        .4  lt 3,\
       -.4  lt 3
reset
# ---------------------

linewidth | lw <1.. 6>

Each number corresponds to a different thickness.

# ---------------------

#
#  #  linewidth | lw <1.. 6>

pointtype | pt <0..15>

Each number corresponds to a different pattern of dots. (see test)

# ---------------------

#
#  pointtype | pt <0..15>
#
plot "data" pt 10
reset
# ---------------------

pointsize | ps <1.. >

Each number corresponds to different point sizes. (see test)

# ---------------------
# save this file as : a_main.plt
# Then into gnuplot : load "a_main.plt"
#
#  pointsize | ps <1..  >
#
plot "data" pt 10  ps 3

# ---------------------

with linesp

The points are connected by segments.

#
plot "data" with linesp lt 3 lw 3 ps 3
reset
# ---------------------

Without the points.

# ---------------------
