I think the link says it all, plus my question, and I say I am using
line type 2. I have gnuplot V. 4.6, but I admit I didn't know about
dashlength. You say terminal - does that also include eps? As I wrote,
this figure goes into a manuscript with reduced size, so that the dashes
merge visually into a continuous line. I will now look up dashlength.
