Thanks, I didn't yet notice this option (seems to a very recent 
addition; I should update my gnuplot.pdf).

However, for compatibility reasons (colleagues should be able to make 
use of it without the need of a local CVS build) I have decided in 
favour of the reread command, although this requires a separate script 
file.

Actually, it is an implementation of the cube helix colour scheme 
described by David A. Green recently: http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.5083

Instead of using Green's FORTRAN77 code I am doing everything in 
gnuplot: http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~ithies/gnuplot/colortools/ 
(cubehelix.gp and related scripts). One of these scripts exports the 
generated RGB palette for independent use (however, not required for 
everyday use).
