Set points as the point type with Gnuplot (using Aquaterm)

I've got a problem using gnuplot and Aquaterm as the terminal. I have to plot some data using the point as the datamarker.

I know that the marker type is given by the linetype command followed by a number, however when I used the test command, the image I've got was the following:

It seems that Gnuplot cannot have a style that uses points.

Please provide more information and clarify the question. - Ugnius Malūkas
plot ... with points or plot ... with dots? - user8153
@user8153: A plot with points, the dots have an only (and tiny) size. - LadyOfShalott
@Ugnius Malūkas: I'm really sorry if the question wasn't clear. I'm not able to plot a function using my data, setting the marker as a point: I obtain only cross, square, "stars" or "triangle" symbol. I obtain these different marker by writing plot "data.csv" u 1:2 with points pt #, where the "#" represents a number (for example the number '1' gives the cross marker) and changing it I obtain different symbols, but not the point. When I say "point" I mean a little filled circle , as the one you can obtain by default using MatLab or other programs. - LadyOfShalott
It seems that this is a known issue: sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/support-requests/212, apparently without a fix for now. Is there any particular reason you're using aquaterm? I'd suggest wxt, which is much more flexible, and would allow you to plot points as needed. - Vinicius Placco

You can plot your data with circles that are filled in aquaterm. First, set a few items:

set style circle radius .02
set style fill solid
plot 'YourDataFile' with circles lc 'red'

Now these markers will scale according to your x axis so change the radius to whatever is appropriate for you.
