Transparent fillstyle for boxes with postscript

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

the postscript terminal (version 4.4 patchlevel 0) does not seems to be 
able to create "boxes" with transparent fill style (pattern or solid). 
With "filledcurves" transparency works for the graph, but not for the 
legend.

Is this a bug or a missing feature of the postscript terminal?

Additionally, I would expect that the look of the filling for a terminal 
is independent from object that is filled. However, for postscript, 
there seem to be a difference between rectangles and polygones.

The following plot shows the problem:

set term postscript eps solid
set output "test.eps"

plot x/((x>=0)?1:0) w boxes fs solid 0.4 lc rgb "black", \
      x/((x>=0)?2:0) w boxes fs transparent solid 0.4 lc rgb "black", \
      x/((x>=0)?4:0) w boxes fs transparent pattern 4 lc rgb "black", \
      x/((x<=0)?1:0) w filledcurve y1=0 fs solid 0.4 lc rgb "black", \
      x/((x<=0)?2:0) w filledcurve y1=0 fs transparent solid 0.4 lc rgb 
"black", \
      x/((x<=0)?4:0) w filledcurve y1=0 fs transparent pattern 4 lc rgb 
"black"

unset output


Best regards,
Michael
