I applied your patch to the development branch here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/be3702a2eb8a).  I ended up restricting the maximum size of the line width in the legend so that it wouldn't overflow the visual area available.

As remarked in comment #1, gnuplot already has some support for changing the lengend linewidth when the plotted line is thick.  However, I notice that it doesn't actually use the linewidth of the line.  I set the linewidth to 8 and the plotted line was huge, but the legend linewidth was the same as when the linewidth was 3.

Not that we have to slavishly follow Matlab, but what do they do in this regard?  If the linewidth is set to something huge, say 20, does the legend linewidth actually match the line?

Thanks for your report. The example you posted shows that the line width is set correctly for gnuplot but not for the default FLTK plotting backend. Also affects the development version.

The legend of a plot picks up color and linestyle of each line, It ignores line width.


t = (0 : 0.01 : 1)';
y1 = sin( 2*pi*t );
y2 = 0.6*sin( 2*pi*t+pi/3 );

figure();
hold();
plot( t, y1, "linewidth", 3, "color", "blue"  );
plot( t, y2, "color", "black" );
legend( "y1", "y2" );


When using linewidth to differentiate lines the legend has to pick it up, too. On high resolution displays it's difficult to distinguish eg. black and blue line. Increasing linewidth helps, except for the current legend. See example above.

Attached patch for current dev will fix this bug.
