It's perfectly fine to use the quick and dirty method. It just depends on how universal your solution needs to be. If it's fine to (miss-)use a two column graph key, go for it. I also don't see a reason why this should not work in future versions. (Hmm, yeah, there will be future versions of PyX ... don't give up.) At least there is a reasonable way to properly implement such a request without destroying other stuff. This is important to me from the design point of view. > For what it's worth, just before I your email arrived I was about to > implement > a graph.style (like symbol and line), the idea being that this new > style takes > multiple data sets and multiple "real" styles, and (roughly > speaking) zips > them together.

The basic problem is, that you really have different data ... some experimental data (dots) and a theory (some line). Doing all this just in a combination of styles is likely a bad idea, as data input (zipped or whatever) input data would be difficult to handle. You would need quite some special purpose style code. It's possible for sure, but it would become nasty.
