#3051 — lt 2

I have a figure in which one plot is meant to be dashed, lt 2.
As can be seen.

http://www.dieterbritz.dk/cottimperr3-eps-converted-to.pdf

the plot is indeed dashed when looking at the large picture, but reduced
to a smaller size in a manuscript, it looks much like the other two plots.

Is there a way to space the dashes further from each other? The plot is
point to point so I can't do it by skipping points. I suppose I am asking
for a nonexistent line type.

You know this from the Tex newsgroup: Please give a minimal example. And
write which gnuplot version you're using.

P.S. As you have surely checked the help, you know that most terminals
have a "dashlenght" option. Did you also try it?

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.

That is exactly why it is important to provide the version number
along with the question.  Dash handling changed radically in version 5,
so the answer is not the same for 4.6 as it would be for 5.0

Yes.  Version 4 answer:

   set term post eps dashed dashlength 3

(or whatever factor you want to stretch the default dash patterns by)

Thank you, that did the trick (using dashlength 4).
