Re: gnuplot (lines,background) color

Thanks Greg. I already had read the man pages, but I wanted to be able 
to do it in a running session. In my office I have a windows binary, 
there the color and many other options can be changed on the fly, by 
right clicking on the graph. I had made the assumption that the windows 
version couldn't be better than the linux one.
Thanks again,
AR
