The “-” is used to specify that the data follows the plot command. So if you use it, you’ll need to do something like: echo “set datafile separator \”,\”; plot ‘-‘ using 1:2 with lines, ” using 1:3 with lines;” | cat – datafile.dat | gnuplot -p (Quoting above probably needs to be escaped).

Instead of foo_abc, write foo\\\_abc.
Small elaboration on bb2’s answer, if you do not want to change the font face: set xtics font “, 30” And for tics on the yaxis: set ytics font “, 30” For both axis at the same time: set tics font “, 30”
To adjust the length of the samples: set key samplen X (default is 4) To adjust the vertical spacing of the samples: set key spacing X (default is 1.25) and (for completeness), to adjust the fontsize: set key font “<face>,<size>” (default depends on the terminal) And of course, all these can be combined into one … Read more
Consider the following dataset (1.dat), 1 0.8 0 2 0.6 0 3 0.9 1 4 1.1 0 5 0.7 0 6 0.6 1 where we want to plot the first two columns only when the third one equals zero. Then you can try this: plot ‘1.dat’ using 1:($3==0?$2:1/0) (Credit to markjoe on Gnuplot mailing-list.)
It’s definitely possible and your datafile is already the correct format. The functionality you’re looking for is built into columnheader(N) which reads the data at the top of the N’th column and uses it as the plot title: plot ‘test.dat’ i 0 u 1:2 w lines title columnheader(1),\ ‘test.dat’ i 1 u 1:2 w lines … Read more
You need to use linecolor instead of lc, like: set style line 1 lt 1 lw 3 pt 3 linecolor rgb “red” “help set style line” gives you more info.
To accomplish this you should use the notitle tag. plot “delay_try1.dat” using 1:2 title ‘With CloneScale’ with lines, “normal_2.dat” using 1:2 title “Without CloneScale” with lines lc rgb “black”, “normal2.dat” using 1:2 with lines lc rgb “black” notitle or a more general example; plot ‘File.dat’ using 1:2 notitle an alternative that is equivalent to notitle … Read more
You can use the syntax for inline data – filename ‘-‘. The following example produces a simple plot in a GIF image (bash script): gnuplot << EOF set terminal gif set output ‘plot1.gif’ plot ‘-‘ using 1:2 1 10 2 20 3 32 4 40 5 50 e EOF
If you are on a Unix system (i.e. not Windows) you can use ‘<cat’ instead of ‘-‘ to read from stdin: plot ‘<cat’ using … Then you can do cat data.txt | gnuplot script.gp. However, in the specific case you mention in your question, with the plot in the for loop, you read the input … Read more
