[Scilab-users] plot(x,y,':') & dotted line : is this a bug?

[Antoine Monmayrant]

Hello all,

For some reason, I don't understand the output of:

     plot(rand(1:10),':')

This should be a 'dotted line', as explained on the page:
     https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.1.0/en_US/LineSpec.html

But I get a line_style==5 which is some kind of 1dash-2dots line.
Looking at what's on page:
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.1.0/en_US/polyline_properties.html
I think it would make more sense to get line_style==7, 9 or 10, no?

I have the same behaviour with 5.5.2.
Do you think this is worth a bug report?

Antoine
