Set style increment
</H3>
Syntax:
<BR>
<PRE>
set style increment {default|userstyles}
show style increment
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
By default, successive plots within the same graph will use successive
linetypes from the default set for the current terminal type.
However, choosing <B>set style increment user</B> allows you to step through
the user-defined line styles rather than through the default linetypes.
<P>
Example:
<P>
<BR>
<PRE>
set style line 1 lw 2 lc rgb "gold"
set style line 2 lw 2 lc rgb "purple"
set style line 4 lw 1 lc rgb "sea-green"
set style increment user
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
<BR>
<PRE>
plot f1(x), f2(x), f3(x), f4(x)
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
should plot functions f1, f2, f4 in your 3 newly defined line styles.
If a user-defined line style is not found then the corresponding default
linetype is used instead. E.g. in the example above, f3(x) will be plotted
using the default linetype 3.
