In this second part of my gnuplot tutorial series I explore the concept of linestyles. I use it to quickly add my custom options to a plot command. I tidy up the plot from last episode a bit by moving the legend around, removing some of the border and introducing custom tics. I show how to increase the size of some elements in the plot and how to change the font. I also show how to write greek characters in plot labels. Finally, I introduce the pngcairo terminal and how scaling png outputs works and what problems might come with it. The font used in the thumbnail and video is called Inconsolata by Raph Levien. It's a beautiful monospaced font and if you do any programming at all and are looking for a different font style for your editor you might want to check out his website: https://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html
