title: How to draw a dataset with fill transparent style in Gnuplot
body: <p>I am running a simple sin(x) function [-10:10], and would like to have the output as transparent fill, not as just line.</p>
  
  <p>The example is not really clear about what to do; since when I type this at the gnu plot prompt, I get the standard plot with the line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set style fill transparent solid 0.5 noborder; plot [-10:10] sin(x)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>IF I add anything after the sin(x), I get an error saying that the ; is expected. If I add the ; like</p>
  
  <pre><code>set style fill transparent solid 0.5 noborder; plot [-10:10] sin(x); fs solid 0.5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error, saying invalid command.</p>
  
  <p>I know that is not rocket science, but I don't really see what kind of syntax Gnuplot uses, to change the style. I can set lines without problems, but can't set the fill.</p>
