Yes, this is property "pointinterval" (abbreviation "pi") plot "foo" with linespoints pt 9 pi 10 # solid triangle every 10th point If you give a negative number then the symbol gets whitespace around it, which makes it stand out more set pointintervalbox 2.0 plot "foo" with linespoints pt 9 pi -10 # nicer version (IMHO) > My brute force solution would be to plot the first set with lines define > colors and then a second set with points every lc as previous and empty > title... not very handsome in maintaing and maybe a smarter solution is > available? > > I'am Currently running gnuplot 5.2 pl6 > > Greetings, > > Olaf
