Colorsequence

Syntax:

    set colorsequence {default|classic|podo}

set colorsequence default selects a terminal-independent repeating sequence of eight colors. See set linetype (p. ), colors (p. ).

set colorsequence classic lets each separate terminal type provide its own sequence of line colors. The number provided varies from 4 to more than 100, but most start with red/green/blue/magenta/cyan/yellow. This was the default behaviour prior to version 5.

set colorsequence podo selects eight colors drawn from a set recommended by Wong (2011) [Nature Methods 8:441] as being easily distinguished by color-blind viewers with either protanopia or deuteranopia.

In each case you can further customize the length of the sequence and the colors used. See set linetype (p. ), colors (p. ).
