[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48033] gnuplot toolkit uses features not available in gnuplot 4

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #48033 (project octave):

              Item Group:        Incorrect Result => Regression             
                 Summary: gnuplot toolkit uses features not available in
gnuplot 4.4 => gnuplot toolkit uses features not available in gnuplot 4

Follow-up Comment #9:

Retitling and adding more details to reflect that further changes have made
certain features not work in gnuplot 4.6 as well. Error messages are not
produced, so it's not as severe as with gnuplot 4.4, but several linestyle
options do not work (that do work with gnuplot 5), grid lines show up as solid
lines now (they were correct in earlier versions of Octave with gnuplot 4).

It seems that more work is being done on better support with gnuplot 5, which
is a good thing, but if we are going to write off gnuplot 4, we should make
that explicit and provide the user with an error message.
