title: Pointtype command for gnuplot
body: <p>I'm having trouble using the pointtype command on gnuplot. I've tried several ways such as:</p>
  <pre><code>set pt 5
  set pointtype 5
  plot &quot; &quot; w pt 5
  plot &quot; &quot; w pointtype 5
  </code></pre>
  <p>And for some reason nothing seems to work. I tried using the &quot;help&quot; feature, and apparently my version of gnuplot doesn't have &quot;pt&quot; or &quot;pointtype&quot; as an option. Is this perhaps listed as some other feature. I know the points are there, when I plot multiple sets of data, the point type automatically changes, but I have no personal control over choosing the point type.</p>
