Set points as the point type with Gnuplot (using Aquaterm)

Question

I've got a problem using gnuplot and Aquaterm as the terminal. I have to plot some data using the point as the datamarker.

I know that the marker type is given by the linetype command followed by a number, however when I used the test command, the image I've got was the following:

It seems that Gnuplot cannot have a style that uses points.

Answer 1

You can plot your data with circles that are filled in aquaterm. First, set a few items:

set style circle radius .02
set style fill solid
plot 'YourDataFile' with circles lc 'red'

Now these markers will scale according to your x axis so change the radius to whatever is appropriate for you.
