This is also my thought since  recently added a comment to feature 
request #3589786 about a way to get gradient-fill with filledcurves. 
This requires to create the gradient as an image plot (which is then 
partially hidden by the fill above the curve; this results in a gradient 
pattern below the curve).

I tried, as a workaround, to determine the plot limits (which are not 
previously known and vary strongly from datafile to datafile) with a 
preceeding dummy plot to table ("set table") and writeback option. But 
for some reason, writeback & restore doesn't work with tables, so the 
only remaining solution was a dummy plot to the screen which is 
overwritten afterwards. The limits can then be accessed by restore or 
explicitely with GPVAL_Y_MIN and GPVAL_Y_MAX.

So, a good solution would be a fix to writeback&restore with table plots 
to avoid temporary pop-up plots.

Thanks so far,

Ingo
