gnuplot 5.0.5 dash type not working

[Baaaaam (Mouginot Baptiste)]

After updating gnuplot to 5.0.5 I was not able to plot with dashed line any more: gnuplot @5.0.5_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+wxwidgets+x11

reverting to gnuplot @5.0.4_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+wxwidgets+x11 fixes it...

here is an example of an not working script:

set key bottom right
plot [0.25:300][5:15] '1.dat' every ::1 using 1:2 with lines lw 2 dashtype 1 lc rgb "red" 1", \
  '2.dat' every ::1 using 1:2 with lines lw 2 lt 2 dt 2 lc rgb "red" title "2", \
  '3.dat' every ::1 using 1:2 with lines lw 2 dashtype 1 lc rgb "orange"  title "3", \
  '4.dat' every ::1 using 1:2 with lines lw 2 lt 2 dt 2 lc rgb "orange" title "4"

I using a MBpro early 2015, using MACOS 10.11.6

Can you please provide a standalone more precise example? That is, try to plot sin(x) and similar rather than making the example depend on a specific data file. And specify which terminal you are using.

Under both versions dashtype 1 creates a solid line for me, but dashtype 2 works as expected. There is also a problem with quotation marks in the first line ("red" 1").

For examples, you can use:

GNUTERM=aqua gnuplot  /opt/local/share/doc/gnuplot/demo/dashcolor.dem
GNUTERM=x11 gnuplot  /opt/local/share/doc/gnuplot/demo/dashcolor.dem

Aquaterm is not showing dashes and there are problems with the character point symbols "star" "asterisk?", "smiley" for both terminals.

OK, I can confirm the behaviour (images in attachments). I'll report this upstream.

As far as smilies are concerned, they probably never even worked in AquaTerm, additional support would have to be added to the terminal to make that work.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Can you please confirm whether the following works for you?

set term aqua dashed
plot sin(x) with lines dashtype 2

It works for me with both versions at least. I need to find a minimal example that's broken, so that I know what to report exactly.

[Baaaaam (Mouginot Baptiste)]

this is also working for me.

deeply sorry for the response delays...

I add problem in "png" with both star and numbers...

In any case it makes a lot more sense to upload these to the upstream bug tracker than here.
