[pstricks] - plotstyle=line versus curve in pscustom

The code below introduces an unwanted slanted line along the left-hand side of the resulting image. Changing the plotsyle from line to curve OR uncommenting the \newpath macro removes the unwanted line. Ran across this quite by accident but thought it might be worth mentioning.

BTW, finally picked up my copy of the new PSTricks book. Great job Herbert.

thanks
