re: Linewidth and line parameters

Hi,

Does the follwoing help? It should plot a bunch of curves, all lines
with different colors. You can change the styles and colors by changing 
the values assigned to the variables. You can have no title by having 
nothing in between the two ;;'s. 

hold on;
style = '-'; # line
for i=1:1:5
  color = i;
  x=[-i:.01:i];
  plot(x/i,atan(x),sprintf("%d;mytitle=%d;%s",color,i,style));
endfor;

I don't know if you can change the linewidth unless you are
plotting, e.g. to a postscript terminal. I don't think you 
can have different line widths in X, for example, but you can
have dashed lines - now how do you set those...? (style='.'
gives dots).
