how to set label and line the same color in gnuplot

colors, gnuplot, label, linestyle

Solution

Try this instead:

set label "AC" at 0, 70 textcolor linetype 1

or

set label "AC" at 0, 70 textcolor linespec 1

Read the manual in `gnuplot> help label` to learn more.

Problem

Very simple stuff. I want a function, say function f, to be plotted with a particular color. I also want a piece of label saying "function f color" which is also displayed in that color. I am trying this so far: ``` set style line 1 lw 3 lc 1 set label "AC" at 0, 70 textcolor 1 ``` but apparently the "lc" and "textcolor" follows different specs, and it complains: ``` "trolo4.pl", line 8: colorspec option not recognized ``` any help would be great!
