Bug#339801: gnuplot: key datapoint with single input file confuses people

[Christoph Bersch]

This is not changed in version 4.6.0:

plot '+' using 1:(sin($1))

but I would not regard this as a bug. I guess by omitting the key data 
point for a single datasource by default would confuse even more people.

Bug#339801: gnuplot: key datapoint with single input file confuses people

[Justin Pryzby]

Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.0.0-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

When I plot a datafile with the single gnuplot command plot pdm-out,
it places the key in the upperright corner without a surrounding box.
The problem is that the sample datapoint associated with the input
source file pdm-out confuses people; it usually looks like a stray
datapoint.

I would suggest to either use a key box by default, or to not display
a key for a single datasource.  When multiple datasources are
displayed in the key, it is more clear that they are associated with
the key text, and not stray datapoints.
