Hi,
I am using the boxes to make histograms, and I use:
"w boxes ls 1 fs pattern 7". But the background color in the box is white and I dont know how to put color there. I would the pattern with black color, and the background with gray color. I tried:
"w boxes ls 1 fs solid 0.5 fs pattern 7" but the backgrund color is still white.
This trick it's possible?
gnuplot 4.6

which may or may not be white.
I suppose you could plot the boxes twice - the first time with solid fill
of the desired color and the second time with a transparent pattern.

But yes, the key would only have the solid color or the pattern but not both.

Use multiplot to draw both plots in such a way that the second one

perfectly overlays the first one. Use boxes filled with a solid color
with the first plot and choose boxes filled with a pattern for the
second one. This should ensure that you get both: boxes with pattern and
a background color and a perfectly matching key.
The following script worked on my computer:
unset multiplot
reset
set terminal pngcairo size 800,550 font "Arial Narrow,18"
set output "Test01a.png"
set multiplot
set size 1.0,1.0
set origin 0.0,0.0
set samples 5
set key inside top center Left reverse samplen 2.0
XMIN = 0.0
XMAX = 1.0
XSTP = 0.1
set xrange [XMIN:XMAX]
set xtics XMIN,XSTP,XMAX
set xlabel "x"
YMIN = 0.0
YMAX = 1.0
YSTP = 0.2
set yrange [YMIN:YMAX]
set ytics YMIN,YSTP,YMAX
set ylabel "y"
set boxwidth 0.05 absolute
plot sin(x) title "sin(x)" with boxes fs solid 1.0 noborder lc rgb "green"
set size 1.0,1.0
set origin 0.0,0.0
set samples 5
set key inside top center Left reverse samplen 2.0
XMIN = 0.0
XMAX = 1.0
XSTP = 0.1
set xrange [XMIN:XMAX]
set xtics XMIN,XSTP,XMAX
set xlabel "x"
YMIN = 0.0
YMAX = 1.0
YSTP = 0.2
set yrange [YMIN:YMAX]
set ytics YMIN,YSTP,YMAX
set ylabel "y"
set boxwidth 0.05 absolute
plot sin(x) title "sin(x)" with boxes fs transparent pattern 1 border
rgb "black" lc rgb "black"
unset multiplot
unset output
I hope this helps.
