load file error for style setting
r
A file to load settings includes:
set style line linetype 1 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 1 pointsize 0.1
After applying the command:
load'loadfile.txt'
Returns the error:
undefined variable: linetype
According to the command
test
the terminal should show a red line and plus (+) symbol
How to solve the error?

If you had tried to type your line on the command line, you would have
realised that the problem is not with load. You have to specify the
style number.
set style line 1 linetype 1 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 1 pointsize 0.1
should work.

Thanks. I have also tried the following command, to get lines to
appear as dots and data points to appear as dots:
set style line 0 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
The error is:
tag must be > zero
This is confusing to me because the manual says I should use the
command 'test' to view the terminal style options and the value 0 is
for dots. Is the documentation wrong?

Well, the error tells you, that 'tag' must be > zero. Try
set style line 1 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
:-)

data points. I can only produce a plot with lines or dots with the
plot command:
splot'filename.dat' with lines
or
splot'filename.dat' with dots
I can continue to specify the style using the plot command but I
prefer to specify the style in the load file.

If you want to use a linestyle, you have to tell the plot command,
otherwise the standard _linetypes_ and _pointtypes_ are used!
set style line 1 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
plot sin(x) linestyle 1

This command is equivalent to
splot 'filename.dat' with lines linetype 1

Could you post a MINIMAL script that produces this error? I.e., your
file (with the minimal number of options)?

Put everything in a file (e.g. options.gp) and load it! That should not
give you any error
load 'options.gp'
plot sin(x) linestyle 1
That works for me and plots to '~/test.eps'.

I want to put the plot option 'linestyle 1' into the load file.
If you enter the command
plot sin(x)
linestyle 1 in the load file is ignored.

I must be extremely blockheaded, but I don't see what the problem is:
as Christoph pointed out, if you type
load 'options.gp'
plot sin(x) linestyle 1
everything works just fine. So why can't you just use this? Also, what
you posted is not a minimal script. One way of debugging any kinds of
code is to yank lines, one by one, and watch when the error
disappears. What I had in mind is something like this
set terminal postscript eps enhanced colour
set output '~/test.eps'
set style line 1 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
Does this still give you an error?

I want to put all style in the load file. I will try and explain
again.
the manual says use the command
test
to see the options available to the terminal (for me, x11).
Style 0 shows a line of dots and a dot, suggesting that if line style
0 is specified, the result will be data points and lines between those
datapoints of a style dots.
Now the command
set style line 1 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
or
set style line 0 linetype 0 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
will create a plot with dots as the style.
The command
plot 'test.dat' with linestyle 1
should be equivalent to
load'test.txt'
plot'test.dat'
when the file 'test.txt' contains
set style line 1 linetype 1 linewidth 0.5 pointtype 0 pointsize .1
This does not happen. So there are some errors:
The terminal shows a style which cannot be loaded
The manual states a style '0' which returns an error when the
specification file is loaded
Options is a plot command cannot be tranferred to a file

Ok: this is not possible without explicitely selecting a linestyle
together with the plot command (see below).

No, these are the linetype and pointtype! A linestyle is a composed
option which is used only when it is specified together with the plot
command.
You are right, that in that point the manual is misleading as I saw now!
It says:
"test or test terminal creates a display of line and point styles and
other useful things..."
This should be changed to
"test or test terminal creates a display of line and point types and
other useful things..."

It is not possible to achieve that with linestyles.

No, these are the linetypes which are shown with the 'test' command (see
above)
> Options is a plot command cannot be tranferred to a file
Correct, the 'with linestyle 1' option cannot be transferred to a file.
You stated above, that you use the x11 terminal. In that case you could
change the linetypes using the X11 resources (see manual section
Terminal -> X11 -> Line_resources). This works only for this terminal.
Otherwise you could tell us why you do not want to write the linestyle
after the plot command. Writing 'w ls 1' together with the plot command
shouldn't be too much to type :-)

Not quite correct.
I think the option you are looking for is
set style increment user
Yes, that is a horrible command name.
It has the effect of requesting that each linetype (note: _type_)
be replaced by the corresponding line style (note: _style_).
Try adding this command at the end of your load file.
