Package: gnuplot5 Version: 5.0.0~rc+dfsg2-1 Severity: important When using the pdfcairo terminal, lines are much thicker than with gnuplot4, so that old plot code is not compatible with gnuplot5, though this incompatibility is not listed on
http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_5_0.html This can be seen with: for i in 4 5 do gnuplot$i <<EOF set terminal pdfcairo lw 10 set output 'out$i.pdf' plot '-' using 1:2 t '' with line 0 0 10 10 e EOF done when both gnuplot4 and gnuplot5 are installed. I've attached the produced out4.pdf and out5.pdf files. Getting too thick lines is annoying in some cases as details can be lost (or become less visible). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages gnuplot5 depends on: ii gnuplot5-qt [gnuplot5-nox] 5.0.0~rc+dfsg2-1 gnuplot5 recommends no packages.
