[Graph-dev] Re: /tmp/Graph_Gnuplot_18120/command.1, line 7: invalid color spec, must be xRRGGBB

[David Moore]

Thanks for the email.  I guess I wouldn't call it a bug in gnuplot, but
it is annoying that they dropped that keyword. :)

Removing it from your copy is probably best.  I'll see how to best work
in a change into our current tree for future releases.
